Cursors overview

Various types of cursor graphics are used in QY CAD. Unique cursor graphics are displayed in the following types of workflows:

• To indicate the active command, such as the Select, Zoom Area, and Pan commands.

• When you highlight or select certain types of elements.

• To indicate the current step in the active command.

The following tables list a representative sample of some of the cursor types.
