Problem with "Pick Film Size Rectangle"

Hi all,

For some reason for one of my project I am encountering some weird problem when trying to set the film size manually on screen.

As shown in Pic 1, my cursor turns to an invalid symbol when I try to set the filmback in the perspective view. Also sometimes the heads up camera display shows a red rectangle around it too.

While it seems fine in other orthogonal views, eg. Top view in Pic 2

Thanks and best regards,
Gothra

I see this sometimes here too. It should always show a crosshairs cursor, but sometimes it doesn't - I don't think there's much I can do about that, so just ignore it - even if the cursor is sometimes wrong, you should still be able to draw the rectangle.

Yes, this means that the film size you have chosen does not fit completely inside of the Rhino viewport.

Cheers,

JD

on my machine, the cursor is almost always as in pic 1 ... but it works anyway.
