AutoCAD 2010 :: Multiple Grip Selection Not Working When Pan Or Zoom During Selection
Jul 12, 2011
When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.
This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?

 My question is, if there any tool /command, utility in autocad to select all objects of one type at one time : for example all text objects or all dimention objects if these objects on different layers and have different properties. in my work I have to insert many blocks(not annotative) or parts of drawings which were created by other people and have different from mine settings and properties of text and dimention objects. the insertions add so many layers and objects that I spend lots of time to correct them and to figure it out.
is there any way( command, utility) to select and manage all of these objects at one time?
P.S.i think it is very unconvenient that the plain autocad does not have dimentions and text as families or some sort of groups that s easy to manage.

I can select individual layers either in the Layer Palette or on the canvas with no problem. It's when I use the selection tool with Shift, Cntrl, or Alt that I cant get more than one layer selected. I want to group and lock layers together so I can scale down the group to a maller image size.

If I have a long column (100) of blocks on, say, 1" centers. I want to select block numbers 1 through 98 and copy them to another location. I enter CO, left click and hold to create a selection fence starting at the #1 end, then zoom in (using the wheel) to the last 4 blocks to accurately place the end of the fence between #98 & 99. I'm expecting to have selected #1 - 98 but find that I have only copied 97 and 98. Blocks that were no longer visible on the screen are not copied.

Using the selection tool i should be able tp reduce or shrink the size of the box or an image as a whole without changing the format. Iam not able to do that. I think i disabled something in my illustrator.

can do a routine that zooms into a coordinate, based on input. So for 1A, it would zoom into the coordinate for 1A.
1A = 1,1
1B = 1,2
1C = 1,3
1D = 1,4
I will try to attempt one shortly and will post it within 1 hour.Â

I'm trying to make a magnifing glass on an image and I've done this once before, but can't figure out how I did it.
I want to make a selection and magnify or zoom the background just in that selection.
I remember that it was a very simply thing.
I thought maybe a filter, but I can't find it.
I'm using PS 7/Win OS if that matters.

I am using Photoshop CS5.1 on a Windows 7 laptop. Its about 3-4 years old. But this problem has started only recently. Every time I use the section tool, it will almost always break my scrubby zoom and makes a weird, glitch looking box. (as shown)
Â
It also drops the quality of my images slightly. Does this have to do with my video card?

I have a flexible sub-assembly in my top assembly. Sometiems I'm trying to demonstrate to others how a mechanism in the sub-assembly works using this flexibility feature. It works great, but when I move just one little part of a flexible assembly, Inventor displays the wire-mesh of the entire flexible assembly, because technically the entire assembly is selected, even though I'm only moving one part. It clutters up the screen very badly, detracting from what I'm trying to show.
Is there a way to prevent Inventor from displaying the selection lines? Either only when I'm moving a part in a flexible assembly (which would be great), or to just turn them off completely when I'm presenting like this? I know I can turn off pre-select, but that doesn't work, because once I start moving a part in the flexible assembly, the assembly is "selected" and the wire-mesh displays.

When creating a selection Command using the PromptXXXOptions and PromptXXXResult. The entities are selected on the current view, but once the selection ends the entities return to an unselected state.
Is it possible to leave them in selection mode.
I want to this, because it will be better to use Editor.SelectImplied() instead of saving the last selection object Ids.

I've created a lisp that draws the boltholes of a pipe flanges, using the correct number of holes, at the correct diameter at the correct bolt-hole diameter and then rotates. Everything works seamlessly, when i do just one flange. But I've discovered that fewuently there will be mulitple times when a user will have to perform the command.
So the idea I had was to do the following:
Select all circles with    (setq CirclesFirst (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "CIRCLE"))))
Go through the code to create the new circles.
Select all circles with    (setq Circles (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "CIRCLE"))))
Remove selection set "CirclesFirst" from "Circles".
But what for some reason (command "_.select" Circles "R" CirclesFirst "") does not work.

I am working in AutoCAD 2011 and, all of a sudden, both left- and right-click stopped working properly.
Right clicking only repeats the last command, either with or without any object selected, even though my personal customized preference has been set to Edit when an object is selected.
But most worrisome is the left-clicking situation. Double left-clicking does nothing, instead of the usual editing it had been doing all these years.
When I single-left-click an object, it seems to select it (grips appear and the object lines appear dashed, just as usual), but if I want to do something afterwards, it does nothing. For example, I select (single-left-click) an object and press the delete button, and it does nothing. Also, despite the object being selected (in appearance at least), I noticed that the "Layer" and "Properties" toolbars don't change, thus, not displaying the correct layer and other properties of the said object.
The way around this seems to be to type the command first and then select objects (which means that the commands work properly). But after more than ten years working the other way, you can imagine this slows me the hell down, almost to a point of continuous stand-still.
Also, we opened other programs to see if the mouse and keyboard were simlutaneously broken down. Of course theye weren't and, in the other programs, left- and right-click and "delete" funcitons were working properly.

The answer to this post is not the pickfirst variable. I select text, a line, anything really then right click, copy and nothing it loses the selection set and waits for me to now select something. I know it sounds like pickfirst, but pickfirst is set to 1.

There are blocks in the drawing, each containing several nested entities. Need a command which would find all the nested entities which got into the selection area provided by user (not necessary to select entities, just get the ids). GetNestedEntity() does what I need but for a single entity only.Â
Selection of 'Trim' command does exactly what I need. How could I achieve the same behaviour?

From the AutoDESK docs [URL] ......
"AutoCAD.Application.ActiveDocument.SelectionSets. Add method
Not needed/provided" in VB.Net
Thus 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application. DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SelectionSets' will not work.
So, I can't store multiple selection sets in VB.Net?
Why is it not provided? Or is there some other way to do that?

All of a sudden my Cad is now not allowing me to select multiple items one at a time without deselected the ones before. Everytime I select a new item to move it, the grips off of another item I would be moving would deselect. Where is the setting to set this back to where I can individually select multiple items without AutoCad deselecting the what I had selected already.

I have loaded an xref in to my working file. I temporarily unloaded the xref so that it would not be in the way as I was editing my drawing. Even though the xref is unloaded and I can not see it on screen it still highlights and becomes visible as if I picked it with my fence while I am trying to edit other entities to my drawing.Â

My shift not working when I have some objects selected and I want to deselect something. I have the c3d 2014 with raster image. I am new to autocad and c3d and I am trying to learn from videos I find in youtube. I saw even the autocad help that mentions the shift to deselect but why this is not working.

I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
Â
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
Â
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?

If you look closely in the attached picture, there is a spot of light blue on the player's helmet, that looks like a mistake (think it should look like the grass behind it)...though it actually may be part of his helmet.
Â
Regardless, I'd like to take it out. My idea was to select the blue with the quick selection tool, then bring that selection out to the grass, select the grass with that size/shape of selection, copy/paste and then bring the grass selection into the blue part so it looks like grass in what was the blue part.
Â
The problem is I don't seem to be able to move the selection without taking the blue with it (so it's not an empty selection and therefore can't select a piece of the grass.)

I have Photoshop CS5 on a Mac OS 10.7.4 My problem is that when I am using curves or a slider, my selection does not stay in the same place. For example, I chose the number 8 on a slider, after I release my selection it will either go one number after or before my selected number. I have had this problem since I got my computer, December 2011, but it has only recently started to frustrated me because of having to use Photoshop a little more than I usually do.

i'm trying to create a routine, where i can select multiple windows in modelspace, and the plot a multisheet pdf.but I'm having trouble to create multiple pages, it only generates 1 page
I have modified sourcecode from Kean Walmsley:
[URL]
- this routine creates a single-page pdf with only the last selected window.
- the pc3-file I use is able to create multisheets because the original routine with paperspace works fine
- I think it has maybe something to do with the pi.Layout = lo.Id ?

how to "drop out" the background from this photo (I have loads to do which are very similar). Thus far I have tried channel selections and the calculations tool + all the normal quick selection tools and I just cant get it to work without spending hours adjusting things. The end effect I need to achieve is a perfect white background without loosing any of the detail if possible. On a side note I have also tried taking the photo on blue, green, black and white backgrounds but due to the number of colours present in the products its just not working for me.
