v12 Crosshair quirk
This is really a minor issue...don't think it is worthy of a support request, but has anyone els experienced this....
If we set the background color to 8 (which seems to be a popular background color here in house) the crosshairs show up as all black. Any other color we have tried, with the exception of 252, the crosshairs appear with the true assigned colors.
Not a big deal...people can deal with it, but an interesting quirk.

Steven, this does happen for us as well. This is not unique to v12 though. I believe the colour changes are done to attempt to keep the crosshair distinct from the background.

Strange,
Never noticed it before...not at least since v6, but I don't use a number 8 or 252 background. I, do , however, hear every little difference from previous versions, when we change.....amplified by 10. I did, however, check this out in v9, and it seems the crosshairs are black as well only with backgound color of 8 and 252...don't know why I haven't heard about this sooner. What I don't understand is why this would be. for instance, I should be able to set the axis colors to...say...white, which would be very distinct from the dark gray of color 8, but if I do that, the crosshairs are still black, not to mention that red and green are very distinct against the gray background.
Regardless...all the gray background users here can learn to live with it. So far we are liking some of the positve changes in v12.

My problem is might quite different and might quite same... ...when see color 8 and 252 and simmilar.
I wrote also to support (ID 20773).
I use background color 252, and when some layer/entites have color 8 or simmilar pastel blue/green/brown... is this entities absolutly "invisible".0 -
Juraj: that sounds like the same problem I have run into now and again since v9. There are certain colour combinations that I avoid. Okay once you know! :-)

@Greg: Yes and I don't use it. But most partners "loves" this colors and when receive new DWG I must allways and allways change it. Problem is, if this are entities in block - then I must "destruct" DWG. Sometimes I forgot it and I think, it's empty DWG or something is missing. ;I

Hi Steven,
I have a lisp routine called TBC on the resources page of my website. This is to allow you to quickly toggle background colours back and forth. The lisp routine is set to toggle between black and white by default, but you could easily edit it to your preferences. You adjust this routine to toggle cursor colour instead/as well quite easily.
I believe Damian Harkin of Sofoco has created some free tools to change layer colours on a drawing, which may be useful in this type of situation. See Sofoco tools in the applications area.

Jason Bourhill
