AutoCAD LT 2009 select objects

[Anonymous]

{color:#000000}Last week while I was working, I noticed my copy command no longer would allow me to pick more than one object unless I used a crossing window. Later I realized that I could no longer pick more than one object regardless of the command. I tried move but could only pick one object unless using a crossing window. This is very frustrating as I sometimes need to pick several different objects in various areas of the drawing to move or copy to another location. Any suggestions or ideas as to what happened?

So you can repeat the problems in a new
file?

You either can or cannot pick more than one object
at a time, there is no crossing-window override I don't think.

Pickfirst variable? Look at Options - Selection as well

PICKFIRST and PICKADD variable do not get overridden with a Crossing Window
from what I can tell.

I tried the PICKFIRST command. The value was set to <1>. I left it as is and tried the PICKADD command. The value was set to <0>. I changed the value to <1>. I can now pick all the objects I want to copy or move! I have no idea how this value was changed from a <1> to a <0>. I am the only person in the office that will even attempt to make such a change. Has there been a recent update for 2009 LT that may have changed the value? I have it set up to automatically update.

Regardless, the problem has been solved. Thanks for the help!
