    Question Is there a way to change the colour of the crosshairs in AutoCAD 2005

    Hi There

    Is there any way of changing the colour of the crosshair in AutoCad 2005.

    I have looked through the system variables but can't find anything.

    Anyone have any ideas.

    Thanks

    Dave

    Programatically speaking....

    (setenv "XhairPickboxEtc" "16711680")

    [where the value is the decimal form of a hex # RRGGBB)

    Although it doesn't update until you switch to a layout and back.
