This read you will learn about making selections.
It's in our guide.
So in order guide you can make selection of objects in many different ways.
And we have been doing it in the previous lessons also.
So the most basic way of selecting objects is by a simple window and a crossing window.
So here we have some objects here in the drawing area.
Now let's say that we want to select objects here.
Now in this part.
So in order to make a selection you can click on the left side of the screen so I'm clicking on the
left side of the screen and I was stretching my cursor towards the right and in this case we have this
solid window and everything which is included in this solid window will be included in a selection set.
Now if you expand this window you'll notice that we are trying to include more objects but when you
look at this rectangle here you'll notice that it is not included in the selection election said even
though this window is touching it.
So the only criteria for objects to be selected with this window is it should be completely included
in this window which this rectangle is not fulfilling and that's why it's not added to our selections.
So let's now click here and everything has been selected except rectangle and the text because they
were partially inside and partially outside.
Now let's repeat the process and we'll repeat it with another window.
So now I'll click on the right side of the drawing area and I'll move my goes towards left.
And now we have this bashed window and in this case you'll notice that everything which is completely
inside this window is obviously selected and it is included in a selection set.
But also the objects which are touching this window are selected and this rectangle and the text here
are also included in the selection set all that they are partially inside and partially outside.
But still they are selected because they are touching the window.
So this is the second way of selecting objects so you can use either of these options.
And we have many other options also for making selection.
So the next one is window polygon.
And to make them into polygon click at any point to start the selection set.
And now look at the command line.
Here we have this window polygon option so click on this window polygon.
And now we can make a polygon to include some selected objects.
For example let's say that we want to include only L4 and L 7.
In this case here just like this.
So we can make this kind of selection window.
And if you want to include ACV block also so you can make this window something like this.
And now in this window ECV is also included but we are obviously leaving the one geometry here.
So in this way you can create different kind of selection windows and I'll press enter and the objects
will be selected just like this in a similar way we can make a crossing polygon also so click anywhere
in the area to start the selection set and I'll click on this crossing polygon option from the command
line.
And now we can make a crossing polygon which is similar to the window polygon But in this case all the
object which even touch the boundaries of this crossing polygon will be included in the selection set.
And obviously in this case the ECV text and this blog are simply touching the boundaries and they are
also included in the selection set now.
So now press enter and here we have it the objects and are selected.
So we have one more selection set here.
And for that again click at any point here to start it.
And we have this first option Fenn's now using fans you can create offense and whatever object is touched
by this fence will be selected.
In this case you can see that this fence is simply touching the objects and all of these objects are
now included in a selection set.
Now press enter and here we have it.
The objects are included in this election set in the 2018 version are to get added and offscreen selection
and the off screen selection is helpful for selecting this kind of long geometries.
So let's say that we want to make a selection by zooming this drawing and we just want to include a
selection from here.
Now we are including the objects in our selection set and along with inclusion of objects we are also
moving the drawing towards.
Right.
So now we're just crawling it we are panning out here and now we are including many objects.
Now let's click here.
Now all of these objects which are present in the screen are obviously selected but in the previous
versions of Autocad few would have Bandi or drawing.
You'll find that these objects would be removed from the selection set but not any more with Autocad
2008 inversion.
So with Autocar 2000 it wasn't all the objects which are not present in the screen which will also be
selected if you have included them in the selection set.
So now when you zoom out you'll notice that the complete set of objects are included in the selections
head.
Even when they were not present on the screen while making the selection.
So that's a new enhancement in Autocad 2008 version.
So this was all about creating selection sets in Autocad and using the Selection set you can make some
intelligent selections even in the crowded drawings.
