| NX Show Crosshairs |
The size of the selection cursor radius can be changed using the ‘Selection Radius‘ option which has three values: Small, Medium, and Large.
By default, it is set to ‘Medium’.
Now cursor crosshair will be displayed in the NX graphics window. Switching from Modeling applications to other applications like Drafting, Sheet Metal, etc. will retain the crosshair display.
To Disable the crosshair display, Go to the selection preferences and uncheck the checkbox ‘Show Crosshairs’ > OK.
Note
There is no customer default setting available to control the display of cursor crosshairs.
Until NX 12, the ‘Show Crosshairs’ setting was stored in the registry at the below location
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Unigraphics Solutions > NX > Selection > Crosshairs
From NX 1847 onwards, this setting is stored at the below location
e.g. C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Siemens\NX1980\UserPreferences.txt
