# Default Cursor Button

> Clicking the Default Cursor button de-selects any active tools and returns the cursor to its normal state. It does not, however, de-select any selected areas surrounded by marquees. (See Control Square, De-Select All Button.)

> Right-clicking in the Top View or Camera View while a given tool is active and selecting Cancel Tool will also activate the Default Cursor.

> Clicking at any point on the ground in the Camera View while the Default Cursor is on brings up a red-and-white striped surveyor's pole.

> It also shows up as cross-hairs in the Top View. This surveyor's pole represents a constant height no matter where on the Camera View it is; when it's close to the camera it looks bigger, and when it's far away it looks smaller. This gives you a sense of scale when you're looking over the landscape.
