Hi people, I need some help here,

When I am in a sketch and want to draw a line or rectangle my select-arrow becomes a crosshair, and that's really annoying. I searched in the help-topics for some assistance but it didn't helped me out, so now I am relying on you guys!
Does someone knows how to adjust my settings and get my good-old arrow again?
Tnx alot,

Do have an "AUTOCAD" type command line at the bottom of your screen if so :- Go to Tools\Add-ins\Solidworks 2D emulator and untick the box.
