Hit the Tab key.  It might work...

Hi Tejas,

 

Please go to View --> Tool Palette

Check if the „Automatic Tool Selection“ is activated (green LED). Then you get your normal cursor back.

 

 

Tab Key differentiation:

 

„Automatic Tool Selection“ was activated at first:

If you change your tool / cursor mode and then hit the tab key the „Automatic Tool Selection“ will be activated again.

 

Automatic Tool Selection“ was not activated at first:

If you change your tool / cursor mode and then hit the tab key you will switch to the different tools / cursor modes

 

Regards

Carina

Another way to bring up the tools palette is to hold 'SHIFT' whilst right-clicking with the mouse.  This works in the same way as you'd normally bring up the functions palette.

 

The 'Automatic Tool Selection' button is the longest/biggest one at the top of the palette (at least it is on my LV version).



Never say "Oops." Always say "Ah, interesting!"
