AutoCad :: Selecting Multiple Objects / Delete Feature Not Working
Apr 23, 2011
I just started having an issues with the delete feature. When I click on an object and it highlights it--when i hit the delete button, it doesn't delete the object any more. Also i should be able to click on as many object as i want, now it makes me hold the shift key down. And also when I click on an object then pull the layers tab down to assign it to a diffent layer ---it won't change it now.. what do you think is going on with the software and who might I contact to get this problem corrected.

I'm going to connect my AI file to After effect. So I had to create lots of layers in order to edit them seperatly in After effects. But it seems like my amount of layers are too large because AE always crashes (not responding -> Force quit)
So I wanna break some stuff down in multiple AI files, but I don't wanna go and select every layer and delete it. That would take too much time. Is there a way to select the multiple objects in Illustrator and delete that but also its layer its in?

I'm using QSELECT to select all objects on a layer, sometimes I need to select objects from 5-7 layers.
Right now I use QSELECT, select 1 layer, click OK, open QSELECT again, select another layer and repeat. Is there a faster way to do this without scripts?
I'm sure some of you do site drawings, how do you measure a curve? Some restaurants or cafes have a rounded serving counter, how you measure the radius to plot into autocad?

I have this code that I wrote years ago that I want to update to select two types of civil3d objects and show them selected with grips on the screen. This function works fine
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))
but if I add the extra object like this which I assume is the wrong syntax i only get the second type of objects. Need correct syntax I should be using for selecting more than one object in an ssget statement.
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE","AECC_AUTO_CORRIDOR_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))

I am just starting learning lisp, And I am looking for a fast way to select multiple objects (usually circle) and export their coordinates and ID into a excel sheet through lisp programming.
As you might see in the attached drawing, the red circles are objects wanted. I have been trying to export their coordinates as well as their IDs in grids, e.g D28, Easting: Northing: . I still haven't found a good way to export ID for each circle.
As my code doesn't work, I wonder what's the most effective way to detect errors in lisp

I have a problem with selecting multiple objects!!! Everywhere it says that you have to hold shift and select the objects you wish but when I do this it selects all the objects in between! How can I change this?

I find it extremely annoying to have to Ungroup named groups and then regroup and rename them in order to do a multiple selection of group members. I find I'm constantly ungrouping and regrouping in order to select/edit.
Note that the multiple items are often not the same type of object (e.g., text, line, shape, etc.).

My autocad crashes when I'm working with many similar objects. As the roof shingles. Even when creating a block with all objects, when passing the cursor over the block cause the system to crash (its even worst this way). It seems that the program attempts to process each tile individually (further these tiles are rounded).I've been working with large roofs, such as 9mx4m.

I have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).
; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts
; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz
;
(defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)
[Code]....
However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?

Something changed in my settings & I don't know how to chance it back. I can't click on to select objects inside or behind objects. What do I have to change to be able to select any item I click on regardless of where it is?

Can you delete part of a fillet feature? While still keeping part of it & adding to it.
I have a fillet feature with 2 fillets to a part. One is in the wrong place.The Feature Fillett1 if you edit it, you will see what I mean.
Keep the middle one. Both fillets are 0.25" / Replace the bottom fillet to the top corner.
I would like to keep the Feature in the order it is in, if possible.
I am using Inventor 2012.

I started with a huge ipart table which was created by a collegue who has now left. The factory was unmanageable as it had reached the maximum amount of columns and was running very slowly.
To combat this, I decided to split the table in half so that the ipart will become two iparts. I am now working on the first half...
A lot of features are unque to one or a few parts, so doing this enabled me to delete columns if all values in the columns matched after the table was halved.
I thought this would speed up the file but I have now realised I have a bunch of features sat in the browser than are suppressed in every member!
Is there any way to use ilogic or vba to run a script that will delete a feature if it is suppressed in every member?

I have a rogue feature line that I do not know where or why it appeared from. (Somehow it is a duplicate of my curb line, but offset.)I cannot delete this feature line. It is not applied to any surface as a break line, but when I go to delete it, it freezes autocad.
I have done all the basic steps of purging, audit, recovering, even tried mapclean and I still cannot delete it.

How to delete all labels on a feature line? Ideally if we could just pick the line and have it's labels deleted. QSelect and Select Similar require too much interaction to be convenient.

I want to select all the objects in the drawing and then based on the linetype it should be moved to a specific layer.
I can do this per type (circle, line, etc) but that will be a hell of a job and a lot of code. In Vba I check inside the selection on linetype and then change it to the correct layer. But in .NET i don't figured out a way how to do it.

I just installed Acad v. 2014. I opened up an existing file, went to select a line, but noticed that the line does not highlight when I hover over it like my last version. How do I change the settings so that when I hover over an object, whether it be a line or a cross hatched area, it will highlight that object so I know the length or area of the object?

The issue I am having a problem with is a mouse cursor freeze when I select an object with no command active.When I select an object, the cursor will freeze for about a second before I can move it again. When I hit escape to de-select the object the same thing happens.
This is with Acad LT 2011. WinXP. Normal operation this computer runs ACAD quite fast, no particular lags or anything except maybe when selecting to copy or move very large groups of objects, or when switching between layouts or to model space when there is a fair amount of stuff in the layout, or when regen on a large file size.
This mouse cursor lag was not always the case, but at some point this problem appeared.I have tried save, regen, regenall, closing the drawing, exiting ACAD LT, rebooting the computer.
It's very irritating, since so much of using ACAD is clicking and doing things with the mouse, that it really slows down my production, to have to get a cup of coffee every time I do a select action with the mouse.About a week ago I installed the trial version of LT 2012 to see if it was different. When I opened the same dwg in 2012 there was no lag.
I then closed this and opened the dwg in 2011, and there was no lag. So it seems that the installation of the 2012 trial version changed something in the way 2011 operated.It has been operating fine now with no lag until this morning. Now I have the lag again.When I now open the same dwg in 2012, I now have this lag in 2012 as well.
I did not change any settings in 2012 or 2011 like hardware acceleration or whatever. I just suddenly had this lag, and now I can't seem to get rid of it. Attached is a file that was made by opening ACAD LT 2011 and drawing a few lines, then saving it. No template used.On my computer with this file, I get the mouse cursor lag when I select a line.

my problem is that I can only select objects that are shown on screen on the second click.
For instance, I'm using the green select box (dragging right to left) to select a large amount of items in a really tight spot, (between 2 parallel and horizontal lines only 3mm apart. My problem is that I can zoom in on the right hand side, select the lower right hand corner, zoom out, zoom into the top left corner and select. It'll only select what's shown on screen, which is literally 3 out of 1000 items.
Is there a variable to allow the selecting every object in the select box, with no relation to zoom levels or panned areas?

when i am trying to use a function like mirror or offset..etc i will select the lines or objects then i will make a mistake such as selecting the wrong base point or such. i then press esc to end that function and try again but find it annoying that i have to select all the lines again. is there a quicker way to reselect the last lines or objects selected. "like the (L+enter) to use line function type macro".

Suddenly, when I select objects, the existing selected objects deselect. If this is a setting I inadvertently misused I don't know why the setting exists. How I can get back to selecting successive objects?

What might be the cause of a several moment delay when selecting objects and/ or their grip points. It doesn't occur when a command is entered first. The longer a drawing is open the worse it seems to get. Is there any fix or adjustment that can be made?

why my crosshairs stutter after I select an object? I first noticed it after the AutoCAD release that added vertex control options to plines. Crosshairs hang for a second or two after selecting an object that has vertices. Seems like CAD is evaluating the vertices.

If I have a list of handles for Autocad Entities, how would I go about selecting these entities on screen so that the user could add to this selection or remove objects from the selection? I could go with object ids as well if needed.
I have been searching and searching and coming up empty handed or at least coming up with information that doesn't seem to do what I want.

I have a multiple blocks in my drawing and I would like to select certain obejects within these block from model space, i.e all lines = White, and then return their their combined length.
At the moment I have to explode all of the blocks, use qselect, run length.lsp to get the combined length of the selection and then undo the actions previous to the block explosion.

I cannot recall the command or the name of action to set my AutoCAD MEP 2012 to have a drop-down menu from the cursor when I am trying select an object that is in a cluster of other objects. I had the command active previously but just re-installed the program last week and have been stumped about it since.
