ReMark Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Did you try restarting AutoCAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Please do not post duplicate threads. It just causes confusion. Thanks. Now, did you try restarting AutoCAD? Maybe it is a momentary glitch? What were you attempting to do when the green square first appeared on your screen? Does it appear at the same location as the intersection of your crosshairs? If it acts like a cursor or a pointer then perhaps you changed something in Windows itself? When you run any other Windows based program do you get the same green square?

CHURADA Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have restarted autocad several times it still remains the same - green square asif its my cursor? I started my machine up and it was there I suspect it may be a memory thing but i am not a wizard on CAD - as I move the mouse around the green square simulated my movements , no it only appears in CAD NOT ANY OTHER WINDOWS PROGRAMME Thanks you for your reply ,..... i will try anything to get this sorted ... gotta hand in some work tomorrow...

ReMark Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 That look like the largest PICKBOX I've ever seen. Did you try going to OPTIONS and checking your settings? BTW....regarding your Friend request. I'm going to hold off on that for the moment. I like to see some real participation here at CADTutor before I grant such a request. It is nothing personal. I just don't make "friends" on the basis of two posts. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organic Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Go to the display tab and make your crosshair size 100 and see if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Go to drafting tab, make the 'AutoSnap marker size' smaller than what it is currently (I am guessing you have it on the largest size possible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
