c2designkitchen Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I keep making large and complicated selections, and then AutoCAD autosaves/regenerates and deselects everything. That is so obnoxious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Unless you are using pickfirst selection, this might help (after it cancels your selection). (defun c:Test (/) (sssetfirst nil (ssget "_P")) (princ)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c2designkitchen Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Cool, I will try it! Is this a Lisp or a macro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c2designkitchen Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I call it 'Reselect'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I call it 'Reselect'. When in selection mode, you can also type "P" and it will select Previous.

c2designkitchen Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 How do I know when I am in selection mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 How do I know when I am in selection mode? Anytime you have executed a command that allows for multiple selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinprakoso Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 You can also force AutoCAD to select mode by typing SELECT [enter]. Just in case you like to select your objects before activating command... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c2designkitchen Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 So if I type SELECT, I can then use Previous before I activate the tool? Sweeet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So if I type SELECT, I can then use Previous before I activate the tool? Sweeet. Sounds redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c2designkitchen Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 The most useful I have found that to be since just recently is that the Select tool will give me the blue squares, so I can easily see overlapping lines. This helps me get the right objects selected and double-check alignment before I engage a command. The selected lines just become dashed lines when I am selecting something within a command's prompt.
