Cursor Positioning in Auto Clicker

🎯 Precise Click Positioning

Control exactly where your automated clicks occur using two flexible positioning methods: current cursor location or exact pixel coordinates.

Positioning Methods

📍 Current Location Mode (Default)

How it Works: Clicks at wherever your mouse cursor is positioned when you start automation

Advantages:

Quick and intuitive setup
Visual positioning – see where you’ll click
Perfect for interactive targeting
No coordinate calculation needed

Best For: Dynamic targeting, one-time setups, testing

🗺️ Pick Location Mode

How it Works: Clicks at exact X,Y pixel coordinates you specify

Advantages:

Pixel-perfect accuracy
Repeatable exact positioning
Automated coordinate targeting
Multi-monitor support

Best For: Automation scripts, precise targeting, batch operations

Using Current Location Mode

Select Mode: Choose the “Current location” radio button (default)
Configure Settings: Set your desired click interval and options
Position Mouse: Move your cursor to exactly where you want clicks to occur
Start Automation: Press your hotkey (F6) or click Start button
Verify Position: Observe first few clicks to confirm correct location

💡 Current Location Tips

Position your cursor precisely before starting
Consider using visual markers or guides for accuracy
Test with a few clicks before long automation sessions
Remember that cursor position is captured at start time

Using Pick Location Mode

Select Mode: Choose the “Pick location” radio button
Find Coordinates: Determine the X,Y coordinates of your target
Enter X Coordinate: Input the horizontal position (pixels from left edge)
Enter Y Coordinate: Input the vertical position (pixels from top edge)
Verify Settings: Double-check coordinates for accuracy
Start Automation: Begin clicking at the specified coordinates

Understanding the Coordinate System

Screen Coordinate System: – Origin Point: Top-left corner of your primary monitor (0,0) – X-Axis: Increases moving RIGHT across the screen – Y-Axis: Increases moving DOWN the screen – Units: Pixels – Range: 0 to your screen resolution (e.g., 1920×1080) Example Positions: – Top-left corner: X=0, Y=0 – Top-right corner: X=1919, Y=0 (on 1920px wide screen) – Center of 1920×1080 screen: X=960, Y=540 – Bottom-right corner: X=1919, Y=1079

Finding Coordinates

🛠️ Method 1: Windows Built-in Tools

Use Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch
Take a screenshot of your screen
Open in Paint or image editor
Hover over desired location
Note coordinates in status bar

📐 Method 2: Coordinate Finder Tools

Download a coordinate finder utility
Run the tool
Hover over your target location
Read real-time coordinates
Record the X,Y values

🎯 Method 3: Trial and Adjustment

Estimate coordinates based on screen size
Enter estimated values
Test with short automation session
Adjust coordinates based on results
Repeat until accurate

Common Coordinate Examples

Screen Resolution	Center Point	Top-Right	Bottom-Left	Bottom-Right
1920×1080 (Full HD)	960, 540	1919, 0	0, 1079	1919, 1079
1366×768 (Laptop)	683, 384	1365, 0	0, 767	1365, 767
2560×1440 (2K)	1280, 720	2559, 0	0, 1439	2559, 1439
3840×2160 (4K)	1920, 1080	3839, 0	0, 2159	3839, 2159

Multi-Monitor Considerations

⚠️ Multiple Monitor Setup

When using multiple monitors, coordinates extend beyond your primary screen:

Primary Monitor: Usually coordinates 0,0 to screen resolution
Secondary Monitors: Coordinates continue from primary screen edge
Example: Two 1920px monitors side-by-side: second monitor starts at X=1920
Testing: Always test coordinates in your specific multi-monitor setup

Positioning Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Clicks go to wrong location	Incorrect coordinates	Re-verify coordinates using coordinate finder
Clicks outside screen	Coordinates exceed screen resolution	Check max values: X < screen width, Y < screen height
Position changes after app restart	Using current location mode	Switch to pick location mode for consistent positioning
Multi-monitor confusion	Extended desktop coordinates	Map out your monitor arrangement and coordinate system

Best Practices

✅ For Beginners

Start with “Current location” mode
Test positioning with safe applications first
Use longer intervals while learning
Practice on your desktop or in Notepad

🎯 For Precision Work

Use “Pick location” mode for exact targeting
Document coordinates for repeated use
Test coordinates before long automation
Consider screen scaling settings

🔄 For Automation Scripts

Always use coordinate mode for consistency
Test on same resolution where you’ll deploy
Create coordinate maps for complex workflows
Include position verification in your process
