General Preferences: Cursor

Crosshair Color

• Set Color: 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.

Circular Cursor Size

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

Microlucida always records the circular cursor size during tracing.

To view the line thickness:

1. Go to the Options>Display Preferences>View tab.
2. Under Line Rendering Attributes, check Display Thickness. 
   

Crosshair Size

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.
