In AutoCAD 2015 badges were added to the AutoCAD cursor to help you identify the editing operation you were about to perform. For example, when you use the ERASE command and pass the cursor over an object, a small red “X” appears near the pickbox indicating that you are about to erase that object. That little icon is called a cursor badge.
Similar cursor badges are displayed for other editing commands including: AREA, COPY, DIST, ERASE, ID, LIST, MASSPROP, MEASUREGEOM, MOVE, ROTATE, SCALE, TRIM, and ZOOM.
The display of Cursor badges is controlled by the CURSORBADGE system variable and is turned on (value set to 2) by default. If you’d rather not see the cursor badges, you can change CURSORBADGE to 1.
