    can't copy multiple objects

    This is probably a stupid question.  For some reason the copy command suddenly started only allowing to select one object.  If I click copy and select a line, then select a second line, it selects the second line and de-selects the first line.  It does allow me to copy multiple objects using a crossing window.  But I cannot individually click multiple objects as it will deselect the previous object with each new click.  I'm sure this must be a simple setting that got unchecked somewhere.

     

    thanks

    Is your PICKADD system variable set to 1?

    Had the same problem with Civel 3D 2011 and this is how I fixed it:

     

    * Type in OPTIONS in cammand line, to get Options Dialog Box.

    * Click SELECTION tab.

    * Under Selection Modes, UNCHECK the "Use shift to add to selection" box.

     

    Good Luck - JHB
