Having problem with object selection when covered by other objects ie lines,arcs etc on a solid model---autocad 2011---did not seem to be a problem in 2006 version,but wondering if switching layers on and off is the only way?
View 9 RepliesI've noticed that with selection cycling, while it's handy to select multiple overlapping objects, you'd better be sure about what you're selecting first because there's no way to unselect (using selection cycling).

I keep turning it off, and after a while, in the middle of a command, it turns it self on.
Is it a bug in the 2011 version?
How to turn it off for good?
When using selection cycling (which I think is brilliant, shame we didn't have it 15 years ago) with an xref attached the application slows right down to the point where moving the mouse results in the cross hairs jumping around and making using anything almost impossible. Turning the xref off or turning selection cycling off restores performance to how it should be. If both are on I just cannot use the program at all, shame really as this new feature is neat. I use x'refs extensively so this fault restricts use of the new feature.

I just upgraded to Autocad 2014.
With regards to selection cycling, when it's turned on, the dialog box pops up in the middle of my screen which is exactly where I DON'T want it as that's usually where I'm working and it causes all kinds of selection issues. Regardless of the settings I choose in the options, it comes up in the middle of my screen.
I've tried setting the position to static and then dragging the box to the side but on the next click, it pops up in the original centered location. I've also tried every possible configuration in the options box to stop this behavior.
I often have lines drawn on top of other lines and need to cycle thru them to select the correct one. I always did this before upgrading to 2013 by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the lines. That doesn't seem to work on this version. I saw some recomenedations to hold the CTRL key and space bar at the same time but that still doesn't seem to work.It would be a huge time waste if I have to turn off layers everytime to just get to 1 line that I need to offset.

PS I think it has something to do with Editor.SelectNestedEntity() but it is the end of a long day and I can't fathom it out
When I select an object and pan to make another selection the first object "deselects". The object(s) will stay selected until I pan and as soon as I start to pan the grips go away and the object(s) is deselected.

I have this frame sample. I need to notch each frame parts. I realize 3 notchs, first one between 1 and 2, second one between 3 and 4. This two notch are realized without any problem.
When I try to do the last notch between 5 and 6 I have a cycling dependency error message. I don't understand why and how to solve the problem.
I am working on a drawings with nested xrefs and am experiencing major delays when selecting objects using crossing windows. It is as if the computer thinks I am selelecting the xref even though the curser doesn't touch any visible exref entities. Basically, I click to start the window and the curser freezes for 10 to 20 seconds. I am experiencing the same problem with other commands (intermittenly) such as move, line, and offset. The exrefs are on a separate locked layer and have been moved to the back of the drawing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI cannot get the advanced select objects tools to work.
I type:
select <enter>
wp <enter>
Make my polygon, and then I'm stuck in a single item select mode. If I hit enter, they all unselect and I can't do anything. Typing a command (like "m") does nothing.
Typing m <enter>, and then doing the selection yields the same result. At the end of my selection process and I hit <enter>, it sits in the single object selection mode (the little box cursor). Hitting <enter> here again makes the selection dissapear and I'm back to square one.
every time I select something a small box pops up in my way with the object's properties. I can't figure out how it became turned on, and don't know how to get rid of it.

i think i will declare Graphic object and draw each entity in this object but what will i do for the text dimension complicated blocks.
I've got a bunch of tags with a dedicated "tag mode" style, and if I select them individually I can add them to a table, no problem. However, if I try to do a mass selection of a swath of labeled lines or arcs i get the option to convert all non-tag labels to tag lables (I don't want that) OR don't add those labels not in tag mode (presumably keepin those that are). The problem I have is if I select the latter it deselcts everything. Am I missing something or does this not function as it implies (or at least how I wish it would)?

I have a pice of code that select MText in my drawing. It looks that it select the MText in ALL my drawing and I am interested to choose the MText that is in the Model Space only.
The piece of code that I have is:
'Adding a Selection set in the drawing
Set objSS = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("TestSelectionSetOperator")
'Using 4 filters to store in objSS -Selection Set- MText which is located in the Layer Text_MSpace
ReDim intCodes(3): ReDim varCodeValues(3)
[Code] .....
How to add a criteria to choose the MText that is in ONLY in my model space?.
How can I remove an object I just selected from a selection set? I can't find the setting that allows this. Is it some combination of items check under the selection modes in the options menu?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen selecting an object in 2013, entering the command and trying to select the object without moving the mouse will not select the object on the first pick. You must select the object a second time before the object is selected and highlighted.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Hover over desired object
2) Enter command on keyboard (M, E, CO, etc...
3) Do not move the mouse and attempt to select the object
Nothing is selected or highlighted
4) Attempt to select the object a second time
Object is now selected and highlighted
The same thing occurs if you attempt to create a selection window or crossing window immediately after entering a command without moving the mouse and clicking the first point.
This does not occur in vanilla 2012. I do have Raster Design installed with 2013, so not sure if the issue stems from the add-on or not.
I can use SolidSelection.Item for 3D object's handles and but I can't take 3D object's volumes with SolidSelection.
Then I can put object 's handles(1EE) to a collection. Can I use SolidSelection to keep my 3D volumes values? All sub-structure of my program works with SolidSelection Object.
Volume Codes;
For Each tEnt In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace
If TypeOf tEnt Is Acad3DSolid Then
Dim tEntSolid As Acad3DSolid
Set tEntSolid = tEnt
tmpVols1.Add (tEntSolid.Handle & "/" & tEntSolid.Volume)
End If
Next
I can't match with returned result of these codes and SolidSelection.item(i)
For Each tEnt In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace
If TypeOf tEnt Is Acad3DSolid Then
Dim tEntSolid As Acad3DSolid
Set tEntSolid = tEnt
tmpVols1.Add (tEntSolid.Handle & "/" & tEntSolid.Volume)

I'm experiencing problems with selecting objects. Usually, when I double clicked multi line text, I could edit it, now I get a text: "select an MTEXT object:", which basically means I have to select it again.
Another example of this is quick selection tool. Usually I selected the objects, then went to quick select pop up screen and under "Apply to:" I selected "Current selection". Now, there's only "Entire drawing" option and if i want current selection, I have to re-select it again.
I checked all the selection options and stuff. I attached some screenshots.
I have recently upgraded to 2013 from 2007 and I am having some weird trouble with the move command. I will try to explain.. I type the move command and then select a particular object I would like to move a little and it grabs some (not all) of other objects/lines near it and then stretches the lot in all directions! It actually doesn't allow me to move it at all without stretching/extending all these areas. I have tried everything I can think of and am not sure what I am missing. I thought it was somehow related to the polyline I was selecting, but it does it to single lines as well.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can toggle "Selection Modes, Object Grouping" on by checking the box and save my file. When I close AutoCAD 2012 and come back in Object Grouping is turned off again, even if I pull up the same drawing. I can't seem to find a lisp function or command to turn this on. Seems that my only option is to go back to the options each time and turn it on. I've got a registry entry or a lisp command I an issue to keep this turned on.

We have tried everything from here:

But still can't get it work.
Is this more of a Windows issue rather than AutoCAD? We are running Windows 7/64.
When objects are selected, they don't show up on the properties panel (or on the Quick Select panel either) It doesn't matter what method I use:
-Pick one object (lines, arcs, circles, blocks, etc), the Quick Properties flyout appears, but empty. Properties flyout show "no selection"
-Window-select object or objects. Quick Properties bar shows up empty again. Properties flyout show "no selection"
-Click on the Quick Select icon. It prompts me to pick geometry. I do. The Quick Select window comes up, but where it says "Object Type", it only has the option "Multiple", and not the normal list of the geometry you selected.

I know in Photoshop you are able to cycle through hidden tools not visible in toolbar by pressing SHIFT together with the keyboard shortcut repeatedly. I don't see this behaviour in Illustrator - is this correct? Is there any way to replicate this behaviour without allocating a different shortcut for every tool in the toolbox?

I know the shortcut for cycling through a preview of blend modes is to use the Shift keys and the + or - sign. What must I do to consistently get this shortcut to work. Am using CS5.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just bought the Intuos5 tablet and am now setting it up to work properly. It apparently has some issues with non-US keyboards and requires some shortcut remapping. Which wouldn't be a problem (I got brush size working), if only I could find the place where the layer cycling shortcuts are hidden.
I see this might be a rather dumb question, but I went through the Edit->Keyboard Shortcut menus multiple times and just couldn't find what I was looking for. is it possible to make Canvas Rotation seamless and not only by 90 degrees in CS2?
I understand that shift++ (holding down the shift key and typing plus key) is supposed to cycle between blending modes. Nothing happens when I do that though. I have the top layer selected and the blending mode stays the same. Using PS CS6.
