They typically show up at the endpoints, midpoints, quadrants, and centers.Īs with most things, AutoCAD has a command to adjust each of these. The “Grip” is the blue boxes that show up after selecting an object. For example: an endpoint is a square and a midpoint is a triangle. This will change shape based on the type of object snap you are snapping to. There is the “AutoSnap Marker”, which is the green box that shows up when your cursor snaps onto an Object Snap point. The smaller the box, the closer you have to get to the point for it to snap. The snap engages once the point passes inside this invisible box. The “Aperture” is an invisible box around the pickbox cursor.
If a command is activated, the crosshair is removed and all you see is the pickbox. You can even adjust the length of the lines in the crosshair. This is what you see the majority of the time as you work in drawings. The “Pickbox” is the small white box within the crosshair. Whether you have a hard time seeing them or maybe your carpal tunnel makes it hard to so finely move the mouse for item selection, this is going to help make it easier to use AutoCAD. When AutoCAD is first loaded, these are quite small. (Video at bottom of page.) The cursor changes based on what you are doing in AutoCAD. This is a short tip on how to adjust the size of the cursor box in AutoCAD.
