The PCB:SetupPreferences Process can be invoked with a parameter of CursorType, and a parameter value of Large90, Small90, or Small45. Similarly, the Sch:SetupPreferences Process can be invoked with a parameter of GraphicsCursorStyle, and a parameter value of 0, 1, or 2. (0=Large90, 1=Small90, 2=Small45) Those details are in the AdvPcb.hlp and AdvSch.hlp files (which were provided to document the PCB and SCH servers). (The above is also as good an example as any of how the PCB and SCH servers are not always as consistent with one another as could be the case.) Maybe, however, you would like the ability to be able to cycle through the different types of available cursors. If so, ... , you'd be an unreasonable b***er, wouldn't you? :) Maybe that capability will be provided in Phoenix. And if that does prove to be the case, perhaps some addon servers which I have already released for use with Protel 99 SE will have had something to do with it. Yes, today is your lucky day. I also wanted the ability to cycle through the cursor types, and I created some addon servers to provide me with that capability. And I have released those servers, on a freeware basis, for use by other Protel users. If you are a member of the Protel User's Group on Yahoo Groups, visit the following Webpage: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/protel-users/files/Addon_Servers_99SE_SP6 There are two ZIP files available for downloading there, to wit: PcbAddon_6_6_1.Zip and SchAddon_6_6_1.Zip. Each of those (addon Servers) incorporates a Process which permits you to cycle through the available types of cursors (and in whichever direction you prefer). They also incorporate other Processes which might be of interest to you. These servers are not self-installing, but I have provided instructions on how to install these. And read the documentation provided by Protel on how to customise your Resources (menus, toolbars, and shortcut keys), in order to access the Processes provided within these servers.
