select problem
Hello, for some time now I have been having a problem when selecting in BricsCAD. The problem is that when I click on an empty space on the BricsCAD workspace, the boundaries of the surrounding area are selected. As a result, I cannot use the selection rectangle in this area. In other words, the selection rectangle is not created. Could someone please help me?

Sounds like SELECTIONMODE is set to detect regions - but does that work in 2D?

Yes, this is definitely result of SELECTIONMODES bit 4 - "Select detected boundary". You can change this variable to 0 via Settings dialog or typing it in the command line.

Sounds familiar. The question: What causes changing SelectionModes to 4 so unexpectedly?

One possibility is that a lisp function or custom command changed SelectionModes, intending the change to be temporary, but the user cancelled the command before it had a chance to change it back. That's easy to fix. Just search all your lisp files for SelectionModes, and add an error-handling function to reset the variable on abnormal termination.

Try to check also PICKAUTO variable - it controls selection window behavior, default value is 5: bit 1 turns on window selection, bit 4 - lasso selection.

In BricsCAD versions before V24 unexpected changing of SELECTIONMODES could be related to switching between workspaces - it could have a different value in different workspaces. In V24 it was changed - now SELECTIONMODES is a registry variable and has the same value for all workspaces.
