    Default Cursor doesn't display in isometric view?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    When I switch from 2D top view to an isometric view my cursor disappears. This is a completely new drawing file so maybe something is not set right.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Is that happen in only one drawing? Did you validated this behaviour in other drawing(s)?

    Try bringing your mouse/cursor to the upper left corner of the viewport or window (where the [+][NWORTHO VIEW][2D WIREFRAME] is). I have experienced the cursor disappearing act, as well. I am not sure what causes it...It appears to be random. I have also had to change back to top view then back again to the ortho view...but the trick of taking the cursor (invisible) to the upper left corner seems to work 99.9% of the time. If anyone has any idea why this occurs; I'd love to hear it! My guess is a minor glitch in the regeneration of the screen when switching views...but what do I know?
