PDS Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 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!

PDS Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Ahhhh, ya gotta love it. The value of the FAQ. Welcome aboard PDS. 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...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 are you using any form of customization, i.e. Lisps, Vba etc? These can reset variables without the user knowing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCE Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 are you using any form of customization, i.e. Lisps, Vba etc? These can reset variables without the user knowing... 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...

Thanks. Type "options" in the command line. choose the "selection" tab. Under Selection Modes... Is "Use Shift to add to selection" checked?

SLW210 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Type "options" in the command line. choose the "selection" tab. Under Selection Modes... Is "Use Shift to add to selection" checked? That is the same as the _PICKADD system variable. PICKADDControls whether subsequent selections replace the current selection set or add to it. 0 Turns off PICKADD. The objects and subobjects most recently selected become the selection set. Previously selected objects and subobjects are removed from the selection set. Add more objects or subobjects to the selection set by pressing SHIFT while selecting. 1 Turns on PICKADD. Each object and subobject selected, either individually or by windowing, is added to the current selection set. To remove objects or subobjects from the set, press SHIFT while selecting. 2 Turns on PICKADD. Each object and subobject selected, either individually or by windowing, is added to the current selection set. To remove objects or subobjects from the set, press SHIFT while selecting. Keeps objects selected after the SELECT command ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
