Problem Selection Multiple Objects

[ccbrs_jason]

I am new here and a "self taught" AutoCAD 2006 user, so please forgive my ignorance! I work for a smaller bar and restaurant supply in our area and we do kitchen layouts and design. A few weeks ago my ability to select multiple objects (by clicking on the individual objects,lines etc.) went away. I know how to select a large group of items but sometimes I just need to select a few objects/lines that are incorporated in a layout. It is very frustrating to have to do them one at a time. Please help!

Post a drawing so we can all take a peek-a-boo!

And, where are you posting from?

 

Good to hear, "Fixed!!" That's what the forums are all about!

In the options menu isn't there a "use Shift to add selection" option that might have been checked?

And that is why you couldn't select multiples lines?

I know it's solved but i'm just asking

I am in Las Vegas. Here is a partial pic of the project I am working on right now.

Ok here's the help file deal on Pickadd and Pickfirst. Should 'splain it.

 

PICKADD-

 

Controls 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.

 

 

PICKFIRST

 

Controls whether you select objects before (noun-verb selection) or after you issue a command.

0 Turns off PICKFIRST; you select objects after you issue a command

1 Turns on PICKFIRST; you select objects before you issue a command
