AutoCad :: Shift Select To Select Multiple Objects?

May 15, 2008

Right now, when i click one object and then another, the first object becomes deselected. Holding shift is the only way for me to select multiple lines right now (other than dragging of course) but that's not what I'm used to and it annoys me a lot. At first everything is fine but then after a while it does this without me changing any options at all.

AutoCad :: Can't Select Multiple Items

Jul 21, 2006

No matter what command i try in autocad (move, erase, copy, etc)..i can only select one item at a time. When i choose one item it goes dashed (as they normally do), but when i click the second item the first one i chose goes back to solid and if i press return only the second item i selected if affected. Similarly if i choose 3 items , it forgets the first two and only keeps the third one.. Is this an Autocad options thing or a windows Mouse thing?

AutoCad :: Unable To Select Multiple Items

Jan 15, 2010

Suddenly I can only select one item at a time. If I move onto another item, the first one de-selects. I haven't knowingly made any changes. What has happened and how to put it right? I can select multiple items via 'click and drag', but only within one drag - another drag then de-selects the first drag again.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Use CTRL Or SHIFT To Select Multiple Things (not Really DWG Related)

Sep 4, 2013

So this really doesn't have much to do with objects in a drawing. Say for instance, I go into the PURGE dialogue box, and I want to select multiple layers to purge, but not all of them. If I click a layer, and the hold CTRL and click other layers, the only one that stays highlighted is the one I just clicked...so using CTRL doesn't allow me to highlight multiple entities at the same time.

It's gets a little more weird using SHIFT. The conventional SHIFT method (works in Windows Explorer and other applications) is clicking an object, holding SHIFT, and then clicking another object further down the list...this will highlight both of those entities clicked, plus every single entitiy in between them. In AutoCAD (use the PURGE dialogue box again for reference), if I click an object, hold SHIFT and click an object down the list, it will highlight the last object clicked and everything in between the two, but it will deselect the original object. Also, if I use SHIFT to select multiple objects, and then go back to the original that was deselected and hold CTRL to select it, the last object that was selected using SHIFT gets deselected.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Unable To Select Multiple Grips Using Shift / Pick In Drawing

Mar 29, 2012

I have a drawing where i am not able to select multiple grips using shift/pick to make the grips "hot".  I'm not able to make even one of the grips of a poly line "hot".  However, while trying to solve the problem, i've opened another drawing where i AM able to make grips "hot".  It doesn't appear to be a system setting issue.

Photoshop :: Can't Select Multiple Layers (Shift-Left Click)

Jul 31, 2004

I know this problem is really simple, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I should be able to left-click on a layer, hold in the shift key while left-clicking on a layer further down the list to select multiple layers. It doesn't work, I can't even get the (Alt-Left Click) command to work, allowing me to select individual layers.

Both these commands work in Image Ready and Flash just fine.

I have checked the keyboard settings, but I am not really sure what to look for - nothing seems out of the ordinary.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Multiple Items On Clipboard

Nov 27, 2012

Is there any way that Autocad can have multiple items placed on the clipboard for insertion use like the Microsoft Office Word program has (up to 24 inputs). This would be a good feature to allow going to one file, copying what you need and then switching to your current drawing file and placing them as needed.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Best Way To Count Items On Layer Or Multiple Layers

Apr 15, 2013

I need to quickly obtain a count of all entities on a layer, or preferably multiple layers. In this instance all the entities will be hatches so that should make it a bit easier.

I'm aware I can use quickselect but if there was a routine that would select all hatch entities on screen (multiple layers) and provide a count per layer that would be much quicker.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Select Multiple Objects

Sep 10, 2013

I have a lot of polylines that are all over a drawing from an outside source. Unfortunately the only unique properties about them are:

AREA = .14 sq in
PERIMETER = 1-11/32"

Everything is on the same layer, color by layer and are at the same elevation.

Any way to select just these closed polylnes? I tried quickselect but the AREA option did not work (it wouldn't except just the .14 value), and there is no apparent PERIMETER value to select.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Quick Select Only Shows Multiple Under Object Type

Jun 12, 2013

Civil 3D 2013
Windows 7 x64

I've found several people that had this problem through searching, but none of the fixes worked for me.  I'm unable to use the quick select feature as it does not list anything other than "multiple".  I've tried different files, different selections, repaired the installation, complete reinstall, updated with SP1 and hotfix 3 to no avail.  I also have Autocad 2007 with SP 1 installed, as well as Autocad Architecture 2014, if that makes a difference.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Select Similar - Using Dynamic Blocks With Multiple Visibility States

Sep 26, 2013

we have moved from AutoCAD MEP 2012 to AutoCAD 2014 recently using Dynamic blocks with multiple visibility states.

in 2012 we could select a dynamic block with a specific visibility state and select similar, it would only select the visibility state that was previously selected.

in 2014 that is no longer an option WTH?

i have tried a couple of system variables to no avail (pickadd, selectionmode)2014

selectionmode is not a valid SV in 2012

AutoCAD 2013 :: Adapt Lisp To Allow To Select Multiple Target Blocks To Be Overwritten

Oct 22, 2013

I've found a .lsp that does nearly what I require. The lisp that I've got allows you to identify a block, and have another block replace it.

Is it possible to adapt this lisp to allow you to select multiple target blocks to be overwritten?

(defun c:rblk (/ pre nb ss i en ed) (while (or (not pre) (not (snvalid pre)))
(setq pre (getstring "Existing BLOCKs Name Prefix: "))) (while (not nb) (setq nb (getstring "
New BLOCK Name: "))

[Code] .....

In this particular instance, I'm trying to have multiple different door symbols in a 2D plan overwritten with a uniform marker.

AutoCAD .NET :: Select All Text-based Items

May 17, 2011

I'm trying to select all Text-based items (Text,Mtext and Attribute References) in a drawing to check to see if they match a pattern in a regular expression.  Although i have a block with an attribute in the drawing and the selection filter consisting of 

DxfCode.Operator, "<OR"
DxfCode.Start "ATTRIB"
DxfCode.Start "TEXT"
DxfCode.Start "MTEXT"
DxfCode.Operator, "OR>"

It isn't picking up the attribute Reference in the block.  

Is there a workaround using the Editor.SelectAll method and not having to programmatically check each block's attributes? I'm using AutoCAD 2009.

VideoStudio :: How To Shift-select A Folder Of Photos

Jan 12, 2012

I am trying (without luck) to shift-select all of the photos in a folder to bring into a folder that I've created in VideoStudio Pro X4. I have the folder showing up a highlighted, then go to browse, then to the folder, but with I try to drag the folder into Video Studio, it then stops showing the folder and I get a circle with a line thru it. How does one easily bring in a batch of photos to use as you are building a project??

InDesign :: Master Page Items Shift After Page Insertion?

Mar 4, 2014

Indesign CS6: I've years of extensive experience using Master Pages. Now, however, when I insert a single page in a facing page document, the headers shift off the page. I've tried everything I can think of to stop this. I'm not using liquid layout or any of those layout things.
 
This is very problematic as I do textbooks with hundreds of graphics and I either have to manually move all the master page items on every page after an insertion; or I have to shift all graphics manually to the next page after moving those to the next page, and the next, and so on.
 
I'm praying this is just a "hey, you must have X set to X and by deselecting it you'll be fine."

Photoshop :: Select Items Without Layers

Dec 8, 2008

In Photoshop CS3... I have several items on their own layer. Is there away to select these items without having to find their specific layer.

Is there a tool to select the items I want on my page, thus Photoshop automatically selects their associated layer?

I would like to select more then one item at a time, but their all on separate layers.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Select Other Window When Select At Intersection Of Several Objects

Sep 5, 2013

I accidentally turned something on in Autocad, and I want it to go away, I have no idea what it's called or how to get it gone.  It's akin to the "select other" window in Inventor when you select at the intersection of several objects.

How do I make this go away?

I am have an issue with the shift overrides not working when there is an image under where i am working.

In the same drawing for example i can use shift to either select more than one point in a polyline, or to change between trim and extend or to fillet with a radius or to a point.

but when i try to do this with an image in the background it doesn't work. I need the image as i am tracing shapes.
