Sketch mode " no pencil icon "

When I'm go to sketch mode, I don't see the pencil icon instead all I have is a crosshair. Does anyone know how to fix this ????
 
hi folks,

afaik that sounds like Solidworks 2D Emulator.
As I use the german version of SWX I can't tell ya exactly how to deactivate. But its somewhere in extras-additional programs or something like that. A small window should appear where you have to uncheck the 2D emulator. Next time you go to sketch mode the pencil should be back.
hope this helps.
 
FFchen - OMFG thank you SO much; this issue has been driving me absolutely crazy for like two weeks, and I never would have guessed that it was being caused by some random plugin-thing.
