Guest wild_oscar Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 I have an irregular shaped polyline and want to select some of the vertexes to stretch them. Unfortunately I can only select the vertexes one by one, and they are quite a few... Is there any way to select a group of vertexes automatically, based on area selection or position (ex: x or y coordinate) ? Quote
fuccaro Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Hello Wild_oscar and welcome in our forum! Try to select the polyline, press and hold the SHIFT key and pick the grips one by one. After the last one is selected, relase the SHIFT key and klick again a grip you selected before. Move the cursor in the new position and click again. All the selected grips will follow the one you moved. Depending on the AutoCAD version you use -possible this will ... not work for you Quote

The problem is there are about 50 vertexes, and picking them one by one is hard. I was wondering if there isn't any way to pick more than one at the same time, for instance with a rectangular selection or any other way. Quote
Guest wild_oscar Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 isn't there any way to quickly select multiple vertexes automatically? Quote
Kate M Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 You can't just use the STRETCH command? Maybe along with LAYISO if the drawing's too crowded? Quote
toms2k Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Could you tell me how to select multiple vertexes by mouse, not clicking each one? For example I have 50 rectangles and I need to select 2 vertexes of each. Vertex (need to select) are in one vertical line. It takes a lot of time to select them. Quote
toms2k Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Anyone!! I don't believe that there is no possibility to do that! I think auto lisp could help here Quote
Glen1980 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 You could try isolating the layers so only your rectangles are on the screen then do the stretch command, but before clicking anywhere type CP for crossing polygon and you can create a selection area of any shape you like. It takes a bit of practice as you cannot cross the lines of the selection box (i.e. a bow tie shape.) Hope this helps Quote

An ordinary crossing window with the mouse should do for you. Quote
toms2k Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Yes, that's what I meed to do. By default AutoCad do not select the vertexes of rectangles. How to make it work? Quote
eldon Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 I have started the Stretch command before this selection works, but as this picture shows, all the selected ends are moving together. What you appear to be doing is to just show all the grips without highlighting them, which has to be done one by one Quote
toms2k Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Finaly it works Thank you eldon! Saved lot of mine time Quote
