    Default Crosshair color in layout

    I upgraded to AutoCAD 2013.
    I noticed that crosshair color outside the sheet area in the layout is different to the one in v2011.
    Is there any setting to do the trick?
    please see the screenshots attached.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't know of a setting to make it look like your 2011 screen shot, but you could just change the color of the crosshairs in PS.
    Just a thought.

    I am not seeing this behavior in 2013. It is working OOTB as shown in your 2011 image.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    I am also not able to reproduce the OP's issue, AutoCAD and Civil 3D 2013 (at home).

    Separately....

    I actually use a Document Collection and Command reactor combo to programmatically change my crosshair color when switching between Model, Paper, and PViewport Active for visual feedback of 'where' I am at the cursor... That combined with my CursorSize command reactor to automagically change my cursorsize when grip stretching, moving, etc.. Lemon squeezy.

    The crosshair color gimmick is not posted publicly (yet), as I am in the process of porting it from Visual LISP to .NET, and am considering remitting to Autodesk Exchange (this being one of several innovations I have completed, or am working on).

    Feel free to ask questions though (for those that are interested), and I'll see if I cannot help point you in the right direction in the meantime.

    I am unable to duplicate the issue in AutoCAD 2013 "Vanilla". Maybe it's the old "video card problem"?

    BTW I use the "Tint for X Y Z" color setting for my cross-hairs so they are always Green and Red.

    Thanks for your reply.
    This also is a sample on tedg's screenshot, the portion of the crosshair outside the paper area should be "black".
    On his screenshot the crosshair color shows no change.
    This is exactly same as mine.

    This is not an issue of change crosshair color entirely but only the portion outside the paper area.

    BTW, my machine was bought 2 years ago. and there was no problem with v2011.

    Was the crosshair color changed from the default out of the box value? If so, can you reset it to the default setting to see if that fixes it?

    No, it was not changed.

    I actually have the same issue you do.
    I have Acad 2012, and the white/black crosshairs disappear in the white back ground space in the layout.
    In otherwords, I don't have the ability to do what you show in your screen shot for Acad 2011.
    I didn't really notice it until you brought it up.

    My machine is fairly new,
    Win7 pro 64bit
    i7 CPU
    16gb Ram

    I think the graphics card is an "AMD (ATI) FirPro M5950 (FireGL) Mobility Pro Graphics"
    (but I'm not a computer guy, so I'm not sure if this is the card I'm looking at)

    BTW.. when messing with my crosshair colors, I lost the visiblility of my PS window selection box.
    I figured it out by finding THIS THREAD this morning, I love AUGI!
