Mouse Pointer Changes to Pen Arbitrarily

Ron Vink Oct 28, 2014 10:59 AM

Have a designer that is using SolidWorks 14 SP4. Fresh install and graphics card is an approved card with driver provided from SolidWorks.

The mouse point is arbitrarily changing from pointer to a pen cursor. Moving mouse around and clicking left button sometimes gets the point to change back to pointer but usually it changes back to pen shortly thereafter.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Your mouse pointer is controlled by either the Winders Control Panel-Mouse function or by aftermarket software. See the attached images. Note that the pointer can change depending on what you are doing in Winders.

The mouse pointer like pen is related to the selection mode. If your active selection mode is lasso cursor is pen. Change selection mode to Box Selection mode.
