multiple line selection

Is it any mouse function (like windows square over selected lines) for multiple selection? It is very tiring to select all lines one by one pushing Ctrl.

 

I need that for further function as mirroring.

 

thanks.

Use a crossing window. Pick to the right of your objects, move left and pick, anything crossing or included in the window will be in the selection set.

 

You can also type a C after starting a command to have crossing work. Also F for Fence, etc. Look down at the command line after starting the mirror command, type ?, enter, see your options for selection.

Inventor doesn't have a command line?

Window and Crossing window or Ctrl select works. (see Tip # 28 )

Well, i have exactly the opposite problem, i am constantly selecting multiple items...

 

I haven't decided if i like it yet or not (this was not purposely)

 

 

I had to format, got a SSD and... well every time i select something and than another (not holding ctrl or shift) i am selecting both, i have to shift click to unselect. I was use to the drag right for full objects in box and draw left for touching objects...

 

How do i toggle this mode?

 

 

Also there is a like excel spreadsheet you can attach keys or change hot keys? Anyone know where it is or how to get to it?

 

- Thanks.

I don't understand Q1

for Q2 see http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/AU2006/MA13-3%20Mather.pdf

you can export the settings to an xml file if you use multiple machines.

well,

i click a line... it displays dashes like its selected and has the pick boxes middle top and bottom... without pressing anything on the keyboard i select another line. Previously the first would be de-selected and the second would be selected.. at this point both are selected....

 

i repeatedly delete something and don't realize i deleted other lines as well cause its selecting multiple items i have to escape to clear the selection to only delete the one..

Then why didn't you start a new thread in the AutoCAD beginner section of this forum?

Why did you add your question to someone else's question when you problem wasn't even the same?

 

pickfirst = 0

pickadd = 0
