David,
The newer versions of MapInfo supports a full screen cursor. This cursor can be
turned on by hitting the c-key on your keyboard. Just like swithing on snap
with the s-key.
Is this better ?
If not you should be able to add an extra line to the MapInfow.mnu pointing to
your own cursor in another dll file (placed the dll in the MapInfo program
folder.
MapInfow.mnu:
...
Create ButtonPad "Drawing" ID 2 As
ToolButton
Icon 16
Calling 1711
HelpMsg "Place a symbol (point) on an editable map or active
layout.\nSymbol"
ToolButton
Icon 17
Calling 1712
HelpMsg "Draw a line in an editable map or active layout layer.\nLine"
ToolButton
Icon 18
Cursor 1 "MyOwn.dll"
Calling 1713
HelpMsg "Draw a polyline in an editable map or active layout
layer.\nPolyline"
...
I must admit that I haven't tried to change the cursor of a standard MapInfo
tool in this way, but I guess it should work. Let me know

Subject: MI-L Change Crosshair digitizing MI 6.5
Greetings all,
I seem to recall this being discussed before but I couldn't find anything about
it in the list archives. This is nothing new, digiziting over grayscale digital
orthos and you loose the digitizing crosshair!
Well, not necessarily loose it but after a while it becomes very annoying and
creates eyestrain, everybody understands that... Has anyone found a way to
change the crosshair to a more visible object?
Changing pointers in mouse properties doesn't seem to change anything, Mapinfo
Preferences doesn't seem to allow changing this. I'm hoping maybe through
Mapbasic or something???
Thanks,
David Reid
