rayw Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I use shift/select/deselect a lot and it's quit working for both functions. I used to hold down shift to select AND deselect and now it only selects. Problem occurred after opening a collaborative plan from many users and different firms. Changing PICKADD variable and/or checking/unchecking the box tools>options>selection> "Use shift to add selection" only reverses the function allowing shift/add OR shift/deslect but not both functions. AutoDesk forum had info regarding similar problem with a guy using AutoCAD/ABS regarding Raster Design and an options overriding setting but the solution does not apply as I don't have those programs (or the solution options). But I wonder if the problem is inherited form one of the design team that had embedded raster images in the plan at one time or another. I am running AutoCAD '07 w/Arch-Civil-Landscape enablers. How do I get my shift/add/subtract function to work again? I've been without it for months now. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayw Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well I'm a fool... Reading through this forum about how shift deselect is "supposed" to work and I find with PICKADD 1 setting mine functions exactly as described! Continue clicking to add selections and shift-click to subtract selections. For the life of me I can't understand why I thought I was holding down shift to add AND subtract. Sure "seems" like that is what I was doing. Yikes! Too early for "senior moments"! Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
