[PCB_FORUM] Re: Invisible infinite cursor---look at this

Whoa! That is wild!. Thanks a lot. That fixed the problem. I'll bet that
was interesting for the first designer to finger out.

Thanx again Diane.

Infinite cursor is invisible









Cadence Customer Support Solution
























Error message:

None





















Problem statement:

Changing the cursor type to infinite and there is no cursor visible in
the work area.





















Solution:

Allegro uses the first color in the color palette (set to white in the
default 

allegro.col) for the color of the Infinite cursor. If this color is set
to the same 

color as the background color (set to black in the default) then the
infinite cursor 

will not be visible in the allegro work area. To fix the problem change
the first 

color in the palette to a color other than the background color or in
the color form 

go to Palette and "Read Global", this will reload the default colors.
Remember to 

save the board file after updating the palette. The second part of the
problem is 

that if you open a second board file without completely exiting from
allegro. Then 

the first color in the palette remains active as the infinite cursor
color until 

after you open and close the next board or after you completely exit and
re-enter 

allegro. So if you open a board with the first colors set to black and
then open an 

other board, without exiting allegro, the infinite cursor will be
invisible (even if 

the color palette is correct) until you open the next board or exit and
re-start 

Allegro.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Invisible infinite cursor

 

I'm finding a curious and very irritating phenomenon. I prefer to use
the infinite cursor when working within the Allegro editor. 

Well I started a contract with a new company and found that when I used
the infinite cursor on their system it would not appear within the
Allegro editing window. I know it is there because I can select object,
but just can't see it. I can see the cross cursor though. Well, I took
the database home to work on my computer and now all of a sudden I
cannot use the infinite cursor on any of my boards!! Anybody ever see
this before?

Thanx in advance.
