Topic: jig or transient graphics follow crosshairs

[sdunn]

I am thinking about adding graphics similar to the paint brush in the match properties command.  I would want to add the various glyps near the crosshairs during a selection.  An example would be to show a point symbol when the user needs to select a point on screen and then change to another symbol for the next selection type.

I have seen where this was done in lisp with grread, but can it be done in .net?

There's an API for setting a 'supplemental' cursor bitmap, and I'm pretty
sure that it's exposed to managed code, so you might want to search or
explore AutoCAD's managed assemblies with Reflector or ILSpy.
