    Default Selection settings

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    How can I change the settings, so that only one object will be selected at a time --> selected objects will be deleted from the selection, picking another object without pressing the 'shift' button?
    Understandable?

    People usually ask how to do the opposite. Change PICKADD to "0".

    Welcome to the forum.
    If you look at the image you will see how to do that.
    Easier still like RobDraw said.

    What are you doing that requires this type of selection?? Are you trying to remove one object at a time from a selection "set", or are you only wanting one object selected at a time???
    You might be an engineer, if you tell people that time travel does not exist..... and then 5 minutes later explain how you would build a time machine

    Engineers aren't boring people, we just get excited over boring things.

    Does sound strange, eh?
    Looking for the REMOVE option during selection perhaps?

    Thanx thanx thanx it was the 'pickadd=0'
    It's just that I'm used to that setting and I couldn't find how to change it in the AutoCAD2013. So I've been moving objects wich I didn't want to move all the time because they maintained selected!

    Set pickadd to 1, it comes set to 2 by default which means that they stay selected until you hit cancel once or twice, can't remember.
