Entity selection

This must be a simple one but I can't seem to find the solution:When I select a few entities in a drawing (manually, by mouse), and I do a second selection which overlaps the first selection, the elements that were selected previously, become UN-selected. Is there a system variable or setting that disables this 'toggle' effect? I want to keep all entities selected.TIAArno van Eeuwen

  • The select / deselect behaviour that you describe is not controlled by a system setting. Moreover, this behaviour can be very helpful in some situations. If you want to add entities to a selection set, whithout deselecting already selected entities use the SELECT command. The SELECT command is launched automatically when an editing or manipulation command is started without preselecting entities.

  • Thank you for clarifying. This will help many of our users.

  • Hi,In fact there is a system variable called PICKADD.If this is set to On or 1 it let you pick and add entities.If this is set to Off or 0 you only select one entity an the previously selected wil be unmarked.Just type in pickadd and press enter.Svend
