Multiple pick

[gujde]

Stupid question,but here goes.How can I pick 2 objects that are one over another eg. 2 circles with same radius,and a same center point.How can I select them bouth?

You mean to select a copy of an object that is placed exactly over its originator?Dont beleive you can select them both at the same time.Why would you want to?If you wnat to get to the object below you can cycle through the objects by holding down the shift key and clicking on the object,cycling through them till you get the one you want.Or you could alternatively change the drawing order of the objects(tools-display order)

How about using a '_Crossing' selection? -David

My god that does work! :oops: Just the way I was selecting,just picking the object rather than a crossing selection.Oh well there you go if you just pick it you cant select both objects but with a crossing left or right window you can select both.

By default, ACAD uses a Crossing if you pick an UpperRight To LowerLeft Box, a Window if LowerLeft To UpperRight Box. This assumes that the first point picked selected 0 entities. If you want to ensure a Crossing or Window, you need to issue a BOX parameter



(command "_.SELECT" "_BOX")
(while (> (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 0)
(command pause"))
