Topic: Moving the Crosshairs

[cmwade77]

I need to find a way to cause the crosshairs to move without moving the mouse via LISP or a script (without using an AutoCad command, as I need to do this while in the middle of a command), does anyone have any ideas?

What for do you need it? Usually mouse moves by user to select object or define the point. Using LISP you can eval these values and do not move the mouse...

It's to work around a bug.

You could set the cross hair color the same color as the background, then use grdraw/grvecs to draw one moving around some defined set of points (relative to view).

No, unfortunately I must have the cross hairs move. I need to simulate mouse movement to the point that AutoCAD thinks the mouse moved, even if it hasn't.

Hello all:
in the ancient DOS that could be done. Calling interrupts mouse pointer control and deceiving the records that kept the poscion X Y. .. but that of course is almost prehistoric.
So I fabricated the my first driver for a digital tablet that had no human or divine form that runs in DOS. 
Greetings.

LOL, that is old school and would probably not work now unfortunately.....grr

I use Autoit to do some mouse moving.  I have a 3 monitor setup, each with different vertical resolutions, the script file allows me to go from monitor to monitor in either direction without expereincing the dead zone one would normally experience when going from a 1200 px high screen to a 768 px high screen (all screens aligned at top).  Perhaps you can look into something like Autoit?  I dont know how you would call it via lisp, but in theory, you could create a call that will move your mouse for you.
