Preferences: Cursor

It is often useful to set the cursor to a known size for a rapid comparison of objects on the screen.

If you set the size in microns, the cursor changes size when a new lens is selected; its size remains constant when set in pixels.

The circle is drawn as close as possible to the specified size; accuracy depends on the micron to pixel ratio of the current lens.

BrainMaker always records the circular cursor size during tracing.

To show the line thickness:

1. Go to the File>Preferences>Tracing.
2. Under View, check Display line Thickness. 

Change the thickness to make it easier to see on the screen.

Click to select a new color for the crosshair cursor.

For a live image, the cursor may not appear to be displayed in the selected color. Experiment with the cursor color until it is clearly visible.
