★★★Why does the cross cursor in ZWCAD become tilted?

Issue:

Why does the cross cursor on the drawing area become tilted instead of the normal perpendicular cross, how to adjust it back?

Causes:

There are three situations in CAD that the cursor is tilted.

• Created a user coordinate system, which rotate the coordinates, and the cross cursor rotates along with the coordinate system.

• The coordinates remain unchanged, but the snap angle has been changed, causing the cross cursor to tilt while keeping the cursor crossline vertical.

• The coordinates remain unchanged, but the cursor crossline is not vertical due to the setting of isometric snap.

By Comparing the orientation of the coordinate and the cross cursor, we can distinguish these three situations.

Solution:

1. When the coordinate system and cross cursor are both tilted, input the command PLAN to align the coordinate system and the cross cursor.

2. When the coordinate system is normal and only the cross cursor is tilted, input the command SNAPANG, press enter and set its value to 0.

3. When the cross cursor is not perpendicular, input the command DSETTINGS, and in the Drafting Settings dialog box, check the Snap type -> Rectangular Snap option.
