Selecting Components Issue

[kaiser6977]

Is there a setting I am missing that allows you to use your mouse to left-click, hold and drag to select objects, like in any other autodesk piece of software. Because I can not for some reason.

Please help if you can. thanks

If you hold the "Control" key down this should allow you to add items to
your selection, either in the main model window or in the Assembly Browser
window. Another "Widows" selection trick, is within the Assembly Brower
window, if items are in order, click the first upper item, then hold the
"Shift" key down and select the bottom item.

Thank you, I am aware of the "CTRL" and "SHIFT" keys while selecting. What I am talking about is the dragging "fence" you get when left-clicking, holding and draging the mouse.

The tutorial I am running through gives you the instruction to do this, so I would have to assume that the normal dragging of the mouse to select objects exists.

Pleas help.

Yes within the Model Window, LMB and hold

I re-booted my machine and it works now.
Let's hope it stays that way.

A bit of a carry-over from Autocad, If you drag from Right to Left you only
need to "touch" the object with your bounding box. If you drag from Left to
Right, you need to encompass (fully envelope) the object with your window.
