mySewnet™ Draw & Paint Terms and Conventions
The pointer is most commonly shown as an arrow 
on the screen.
If it is positioned over a text box it changes to an I-bar 
and you can type, such as the Edit Notes dialog box in the Design Panel.
If Zoom To Rectangle 
is chosen, the Zoom In pointer 
appears. If the Pan feature is used to move around the screen, the Pan cursor 
appears. If Get Length
is chosen the Measure pointer
appears.
If the Freehand functions are used the pointer becomes a pen 
.
If the Point Line functions are chosen the pointer becomes a circle 
, and when lines are drawn with Bezier Draw 
, the pointer becomes a Bezier Draw pointer 
. When points are converted to Curve the pointer becomes the Convert Points to Curve pointer 
, and when points are converted to Corner points the pointer becomes the Convert Points to Corner pointer 
.
When points on Point Lines or Bezier Lines are adjusted the pointer becomes a small cross 
(a Move pointer).
When the Pick Line Color
or Pick Fill Color
functions are selected, the eyedropper pointer
appears.
The Box Select pointer 
, Freehand Select pointer 
or Point Line Select pointer 
appear when the associated Select function is chosen.
There are several pointers indicating functions in the selection box. The Rotate pointer
appears when the mouse pointer is over the Rotate handle
. The cross-hair pointer
appears when the mouse is over the center of rotation
.
The diagonal double-headed arrow 
pointer appears when the mouse pointer is over a square corner handle 
. The horizontal double-headed arrow

. The vertical double-headed arrow 
pointer appears when the mouse pointer is over the Flip Vertical handle 
. The horizontal and vertical double-headed arrows also appear when the Skew handles 
are used. The pointer becomes a four-headed arrow 
(a move pointer) when it is over a selection box.
