SELECT command

Window

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects all objects completely inside a rectangle defined by two points. Specifying the corners fromleft to right creates a window selection. (Specifying the corners from right to left creates a crossingselection.)

Last

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects the most recently created visible object. The object must be in the current space, that is,model space or paper space, and its layer must not be set to frozen or off.

Crossing

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects objects within and crossing an area defined by two points. A crossing selection is displayedas dashed or otherwise highlighted to differentiate it from window selection.

Box

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects all objects inside or crossing a rectangle specified by two points. If the rectangle's pointsare specified from right to left, Box is equivalent to Crossing. Otherwise, Box is equivalent toWindow

All

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects all objects in either model space or the current layout, except those objects on frozen or onlocked layers.

Fence

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects all objects crossing a selection fence. The Fence method is similar to CPolygon except thatthat the fence is not closed, and a fence can cross itself. Fence is not affected by the PICKADDsystem variable.

WPolygon

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects objects completely inside a polygon defined by points. The polygon can be any shape butcannot cross or touch itself. The last segment of the polygon is drawn so that it is closed at alltimes. WPolygon is not affected by the PICKADD system variable.

CPolygon

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects objects within and crossing a polygon defined by specifying points. The polygon can be anyshape but cannot cross or touch itself. The last segment of the polygon is drawn so that it is closedat all times. CPolygon is not affected by the PICKADD system variable.

Group

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects all objects within one or more named or unnamed groups. When you specify an unnamedgroup, be sure to include the asterisk (). For example, enter a3. You can use the LIST command todisplay the names of groups.

Add

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Switches to the Add method: selected objects can be added to the selection set by using any of theobject selection methods. Auto and Add are the default methods.

Remove

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Switches to the Remove method: objects can be removed from the current selection set using anyobject selection method. An alternative to Remove mode is to hold down Shift while selectingsingle objects or use the Automatic option.

Multiple

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects objects individually without highlighting them during object selection. This speeds upobject selection for highly complex objects.

Previous

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Selects the most recent selection set. The Previous selection set is cleared by operations thatdelete objects from the drawing

Undo

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Cancels the selection of the object most recently added to the selection set.

Auto

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Switches to automatic selection: pointing to an object selects the object. Pointing to a blank areainside or outside an object forms the first corner of a box defined by the Box method. Auto and Addare the default methods

Single

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Switches to the Single method: selects the first object or set of objects designated rather than continuing to prompt for further selections

SUBOBJECT

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Allows you to select original individual forms that are part of composite solids or vertices, edges,and faces on 3D solids. You can select one of these subobjects, or create a selection set of more than one subobject. Your selection set can include more than one type of subobject.

Object

[SELECT CMMND PROMPT] Ends the ability to select subobjects. Allows you to use object selection method
