Allows you to select all the objects in the drawing that are not locked, and/or frozen through the layer controls. Allows for the s user defined rectangle. Everything is selected inside or the crossing edges of the rectangle. Selection operation is determined by how the points are selected. Right to left uses Crossing and left to right invokes Window selection. Allows you to create a user defined window (or box) to define the objects to be modified. Objects inside the box and objects that touch the box will be modified and/or selected. Allows you to create a true user defined window (or box) that is irregular in shape to define objects to be modified. Objects inside the box (or shape) and objects that touch the box will be modified and/or selected. Selects the objects that intersect the selection lines to be modified and/or selected. Selects the most recent object that was added to the drawing.
Selection Method (Command Option) Previous (P) Remove (R) Single (SI) Windows (W) Window Polygon (WP) Description Allows you to re-select the previously selected object(s). Allows you to remove objects that were selected, but now don't need to be modified. Only allows you to select one object to modify and then terminates the command. Allows you to create a user defined window (or box) to define the objects to be modified. Only objects inside the box will be modified and/or selected. Allows you to create a true user defined window (or box) that is irregular in shape to define objects to be modified. Objects inside the box (or shape) will be modified and/or selected. Coordinate System Entry Style Sequence Description Polar Coordinates Distance<Angle Distance is specified and angle is based from 0,0 Absolute Coordinates X,Y Exact coordinate point Relative Coordinates @X,Y A point relative to the last point selected or used Last Point @ Last point selected or used Relative Polar Coordinates @Distance<Angle Point based on a distance and angle from the last point selected or used Direct Distance Move pointing device in the direction for the angle to use, and enter distance. Direction and distance are specified for next point.
