solidworks problem with cursor 2

[mtravisf]

hi, does anyone know why my cursor does not stay a pencil in all sketch tools?
most of the time it changes to a hair line cross.... not consistent.
very bothersome...
thanks.

What version and SP of SolidWorks. This used to be an issue with older versions of SolidWorks. I have not noticed that behavior in quite a while.

What are you computer specs and video card?

Make sure the SolidWorks 2D Emulator add-in is not selected.

CBL,

Good catch.... I missed the hair line cross hairs reference. A sure sign the 2D Emulator add-in is enabled.
