hi,

i'd like to change the size of the little /pick box" in the center of the crosshairs.
in the help, i only find to change the size of the crosshairs...


(To change the crosshairs options
Do one of the following:
Choose Tools > Options.
Type config and then press Enter.
Click the Crosshairs tab.
Under Axis Color, for each axis, click Color and select a color from the palette, and then click OK.
Under Cursor Size, enter a number for the percentage of the screen to be used by the crosshairs cursor, or use the up and down arrows to scroll to the number.
If you want the pointer to always display as the crosshairs (instead of the small box), select the Pointer Defaults To Crosshairs check box. )


So far so good, but how can i change the "small box"???

Hi andersen,


A quick search using the F1 key (progeCAD help) from the "search" tab shows a couple of options:

1. You can set the PICKBOX system variable from the progeCAD command line.

2. You can use the DDSELECT command (or click "Drawing Settings..." from the Tools menu) and change PICKBOX setting visually on the coordinate input tab. I notice a bug on some systems right now with pickbox setting greater than 9, but try it and see if it works for you.

Hope that helps...
