For some strange reason i'm suddenly unable to select more than one entity just by clicking with my mouse.
for eg if i select a line and try to select a second one ,the first automatically is deselected.
i'm only able to select multiple entities using the" cross windowing" or 'fulyl windowing' an entity.
this is only a recent occurence and i suspect i may have inadvertently pressed some key.
I would like to add additional entities to the selection if any of the selected entities contains a an xdata value.
If I put the condition into the ImpliedSelectionChanged reactor I imagine will probably loop back on itself.
I have a question regarding object overrule.
Simple example, when overrule Line entity to draw three entities Line, Text, Circle when selecting overruled Line is it possible to identify what object have been selected (in this example it could be Line, Text, Circle).
is there any entity stutas for selecting?like use mouse select? But do'nt use mouse to select.

StatusLabelBar is a component of my form for write msg. is use me.refresh and a timer (1s) for refresh my form. (a trick i have found for do this [if you have better trick i take it.])
know if there is a command which joins GetEnttiy() and GetPoint() functions. At the moment I'm using both commands one after another. Result I want would be one command where you can choose entity or select insertion point.

What I want to do is move a line on an angle a certain distance in the direction of the line itself in this case 20mm
What used to happen is you'd simply select move and an endpoint on the line then hover over the mid or opposite endpoint of the line and enter 20 and it would move 20mm along the trajectory of the line.
The same set of actions now only seem to allow you to move the entity 100mm (the default value) along itself in the correct direction. If you enter 20 it does not move and if you enter 50 it moves 100!
I am looking for some code that would allow me to select a MTEXT Entity - or other entity - (as the DEFAULT option) but also to allow me to type in some text manually or to pick a point in the drawing. Something that would present the user with:
"Select an object or [P to pick a point]" or
"Select MTEXT or [M to type].
I can write some code to type in text manually as the default option and get the second option to select entity using get string and then write some condition of if code but I don't know how to do it having entsel as default option.
want to upated attributes in proxy entity is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a drawing with multiple layouts and active viewports in them. For some reason we are unable to select some of the viewports so that we can resize them. we can see them we just can not select them. I do not see any settings that would affect this.
I checked to make sure the layers are all on and thawed - i am not able to see if the viewport is locked since I can not select it .
I am having a similar problema than Kari's except that in my drawing there are no Filters defined (it only says "All used layers" and that's it). I am using AutoCAD 2010.
The problem is that I can't select the viewport with the mouse cursor. I have to say though, that I can select them with QSelect.
Also different is the fact that I can see the border of the viewport, which is in the Defpoints layer, which is not frozen or turned off. In fact, none of the layers are frozen or turned off. It's only that I can't select it with the cursor. I can selct everything else in paper and model spaces
I've been having trouble selecting more than one object with the pointer. the program was just reloaded on the computer, but this problem has happened multiple times now. everything will work fine for a while, then suddenly, when trying to select objects during a command, i can only select one. (ex. trying to copy multiple lines, i can only select one to copy at a time).
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I select an object to move I am unable to snap to the grips of the object or any other object close or any intersections. I have double and triple checked my osnap settings. Also, If I select a circle to move I am unable to select the center of the circle through additional osnap settings. One last issue, If I select an object and do a copy with base point command, I am unable to select a definitive base point. No grips or intersections show up.
My co-workers are able to do these functions but I am not.
I have a sketch with two circles.I'm placing an extrude the two sides go.I save the item and place it in a assy.Under Feature Priority I select Select Feature Priority.I select the item, right mouse click and want to select 3D Grips and want to use the component on both sides to extend.Only now it is not possible to select 3D Grips.
If I use the same sketch and I extrude one side then it is possible to use the 3D Grips to select the component to extend.
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI coded a utility to work with entities rotation. This is a part of a bigger project so i just cutt and pasted together the part of code that have this problem.
Basically i get the selection, i clone it (because this is a copy and rotate) and through a draw jig class i rotate all the entities. This works well but just sometimes when the command ends it happened this weird thing, the entities appears in the draw but they can't be selected. And all get back to the normally after saving, closing and reopening the draw.
This is the utility.

I don't seem to be able to select multiple objects at the same time, it is probably a setting that is wrong somewhere but can't find it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to ad a object to the legend of a map in autocad.
The map contains a grid with on the right lower corner a legend window. Someone else drew some tents and fences on the map and most of the object were copied and placed in the legend with the text next to them explaining what the object is.
If i turn off layer 0 both the objects as well as the grid and legend disappear (means they are all drawn on layer 0) all other layers are the background of the map.
Problem is that I can select the objects drawn on the map but when i copy and drag them to the legend window they disappear behind the legend.
Even if I order them to be op top or in front of other objects they stay behind the white rectangular that contains the legend.
Another problem is that the legend and the grid aren't selectable, is there a way to make them selectable again?
I don't understand the meaning of the second reference in the hub section in the key generator, from the Design Accelerator. and i cannot select the circular edge around the shaft, in the hub.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSomething that's been driving me around the bend lately. I have a drawing, with a viewport which I cannot select. I have unfrozen all layers, ticked the 'Selection Cycling' box, but no lines show. It's just there, a viewport, but with no viewport polyline. No way of deleting, or clipping, or doing anything with it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI can select mtext in paper space to edit it. I can create a new text object and select it but I am unable to select existing mtext objects. Audit and recover does not eliminate it. Everything is at 0 elevation. The only to select it is to write block the entire drawing out. That gets sort of inconvenient. Is there a variable that is getting set like the imageframe variables that prevents me from select the text?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a .dwg file in AutoCAD 2013 , and on one specific layer (defpoints), I am not able to select any of the objects. Initially, I thought that the layer may have been locked or frozen, but it is not. Additionally, I went ahead and locked then unlocked the layer as well as froze then thawed the layer, still not able to select any objects on the layer.
My next attempt to fix the problem was to run the command "AUDIT", and instructed to "Yes" fix any errors detected. The command seemed to execute correctly, however, it did not do anything. The objects on the layer still cannot be selected.
All of the sudden I cannot double click on text to edit and I cannot select items before I use a command. If I have selected an object the delete button will not work.
View 1 Replies View Related what I'm trying to do is have the program select the block and then I want to get out of it what the Block Name is, so I can then compare it to the list of block names that I want the program to move. Here is what I was trying to use:
(setq enlist2 (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 10 (trans '(0 0 0) 1 0)))))(setq en (entget enlist2))
However, when I do this, I get this error message: Error: bad argument type: lentityp <Selection set: 1e02>

While i am using Join Command, I Could not able to select all polylines and also could not able to make those are join together (which those are touching at one point).
How to do the above funtion?
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis happens to me on a semi-regular basis. I go to select a piece of geometry and I am unable to select anything. The only way I can "fix" it for a few moments is to CTRL-A (select all) then select the piece I want. On a bad day, this will happen about 30% of the time.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI think I triggered some sort of feature because I am now unable to select specific vertices that I wish to select (although I do appear to be able to select polygons at will when using Polygon).
I am attaching the .max file. I do not have the space bar lock active so I know for sure that's not the cause.
I want to clarify that I am able to select some of the vertices in the model but for some reason some vertices are not selectable (notably a cluster in the vicinity of the cheek pouch area [the part of the face that is bulging outwards])
I opened my max file today to continue workin but it seems that I am unable to edit or select the vetices in my poly as shown in the picture.
