Cursor size

I use AC15 with a big 27" screen. Sometimes I loose my cursor on the screen and have to wiggle the mouse to find it. I'd hate to use a 30" screen, or multiple screens!

Could Archicad give us a larger cursor such as Autocad's full screen length and height grid lines? I never had trouble finding the cursor in Autocad.

Yes (kinda). Just enable it.
Turn ON the rulers, under the Display menu, then right-click inside the ruler (top or left side of the drawing window). In the context menu you can find the command (I think in English it is "Projected cursor" or something alike).

Thank you Rocorona - that is exactly what I meant. I'll try it.

I didn't realise that I'd asked the same question about 2 years ago and Peter Clark replied with the same answer. Silly me!

If you were on a Mac I'd say to checkout MOUSE LOCATOR
It allows you to set a "Hot Key" to toggle it on/off.
This is more useful when working "outside" of Archicad's windows (or in other programs).
Do a search for a PC equivalent?

On Windows you don't need an extra software. Under Control Panel>Mouse ('Pointer options' tab) you can check the last box, to set the CTRL key as a 'locator' key. When pressed alone, a circle appears on the screen (not-so-big, really) quickly reducing it's size around the pointer.
