I have to shift-select to select multiple objects

[PDS]

Hi, well, the topic title says it all.

Right now, when i click one object and then another, the first object becomes deselected. Holding shift is the only way for me to select multiple lines right now (other than dragging of course) but that's not what I'm used to and it annoys me a lot. At first everything is fine but then after a while it does this without me changing any options at all. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Check Your 'pickfirst' Variable Setting

oops sorry it is 'PICKADD'

Welcome to the forums. I think you need this FAQ article.

Thanks for the fast answer! I've set pickfirst to both 0 and 1 with no result.

Yeah I had been looking through that but I wasn't sure where to look

Still, I wonder why this thing happens to me at random times without me doing anything out of the order. I just had to use the pickadd option again...?

are you using any form of customization, i.e. Lisps, Vba etc? These can reset variables without the user knowing...

No I'm not...

Bare in mind that users can also have customisation files running without knowing.
I centralized the ACADDOC.LSP a few months ago, and just got asked yesterday if I had changed something...
