In this case too if you make a window polygon then all objects completely inside the polygon will be selected. In this case instead of rectangular selection boxes you can make a polygonal selection box. This one is another type of window and crossing selection. To make this crossing window click at a point in drawing area and move your cursor towards left.Īll the objects within this dashed window, as well as objects touching the boundary of the window, will be included in the selection set as shown in the image below. This one is like normal window selection but in this case, any object which even touches the boundary of the window will be selected. Objects crossing the boundary will not be selected in this case, only objects completely inside the selection window will be selected. To make a window selection click at any point in the drawing area and drag the cursor towards right side to include the objects in the selection window.Īll the objects which are completely inside this solid window will be selected, as shown in the image below. This is the normal and most obvious way of making a selection in AutoCAD. I have used a sample drawing with circle and rectangles of the different colour and dimensions to explain this article. In this article, I will explain methods of making these selection sets using different tools and I will explain ways of saving these selection sets so that they can be used later. But there are also many other ways of making a specific type of selections using different tools like Quick Select, Filter and other selection sets.
