Different Cursors
You can change the appearance of the cursor while working in a 3D model, in the sketching mode of a part model, or in a 2D drawing.
Change the cursor quickly by using a keyboard function. You can change back to the normal cursor by pressing the same key again.
The appearance of the cursor will vary depending on what you are doing.
- When selecting an element, the cursor is an arrow 

 
- When selecting a drafting function, the cursor will change into a plus sign 

 
| Key | Cursor | Selecting an element | Drafting function | 
| Normal cursor | ![]()  | 
        ![]()  | 
      |
| K | Coordinate Axis Cursor | ![]()  | 
        ![]()  | 
      
| Shift+H | Large crosshair the size of the whole window. | ![]()  | 
        ![]()  | 
      
Note: 
    
    
    
  - You can change the appearance of the coordinate axes cursor by adding the keyword set.axiscursor.wincursor= 0 in the user/SETUP file. After restarting Vertex, the cursor will look like this.
