Select Objects Options
You can use several keyboard options to select objects on the Select Objects command prompt.
These options include Window Polygon, Crossing Polygon, Fence, All, Last, and Previous. Enter the
capitalized letter for the option and press ENTER.
The select object options are not so apparent. It is best to memorize those that are most useful.
However, if you should enter an incorrect letter at the select object prompt, such as the letter y
(which is not an option), AutoCAD® will display the entire list of options as shown in the example
below.
Selecting with a Window Polygon
To select objects within a non-rectangular window, use the following procedure:
■ At the Select Objects prompt, enter wp (for Window Polygon).
■ Specify points that define an area that entirely encloses the objects that you want in the selection
set.
■ Press ENTER to close the polygon selection area and complete the selection.
