You can set many of AutoCAD's display elements to your personal preferences. For example, the size of the crosshairs can range from 1% to 100% of your screen size (at 100%, you don't see the ends of the crosshairs). This is set by the CURSORSIZE variable; the default is 5. Also, you can change the size of the pickbox -- the little square at the intersection of the crosshairs, and the box that shows up at the "select objects" prompt. This controls how close you have to get to something before you can select it. The variable for this is PICKBOX -- it can be any integer 0-50, and defaults to 3.

About the blog
Welcome to Kate's CAD Tips!
I've been sending these tips out to my office once a week for about three years now, and decided to start the blog as a way to put them all in one place. Who knows, maybe they'll help somebody else out there too!
Some of the tips are pretty basic, but hey, we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the tips apply to AutoCAD 2004 & up -- I'll try to note if it's only available in later versions, but no promises. And ALL the tips apply to AutoCAD LT.
As always, if you have a tip you'd like to see featured, send it on in!
