Selecting stuff

Postby Yahooty » Fri Jan 02, 2015 10:00 pm

There must be a setting I can change to select more than one object at a time. Right now if I want to say move more than one thing I have to put a box around everything I want to move. If I select one object then another, the first object is removed from the selection.

Goto Drawing Settings
Tab Coordinate Input
Select Entity Selection pulldown from Change Settings
Choose Multi-Select Mode

With Multi Select ticked you can just click on all the items you wish to select, you can deselect an item by Shift select.
If you de-select Multi-select it works in reverse. You Hold Shift when you wish to select more than one item.

I am glad you posted this because I had forgotten where the option was located. When I have received upgrades this sometimes is toggled, which doesn't cause a real problem as both methods work well. But it has been a long time since I found this in the settings and it is not easy to find.

Enjoy exploring.
