I find the ed.SelectWindow is not always select the correct range. with drawing zoom out, the range is not within the two points specified, the range is larger than the actual range.that means the ed.SelectWindow can not be trusted.why and how can get rid of that?
thanks.
You may want to zoom window before you run your sample
Public Sub ZoomWindow(db As Database, minpt As Point2d, maxpt As Point2d) Dim doc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim view As ViewTableRecord = New ViewTableRecord() view.CenterPoint = (minpt + (maxpt - minpt) / 2.0) view.Height = (maxpt.Y - minpt.Y) view.Width = (maxpt.X - minpt.X) doc.Editor.SetCurrentView(view) db.UpdateExt(True) End Sub <CommandMethod("ZOOMW")> _ Public Sub ZoomREctangle() Dim doc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim db As Database = doc.Database ZoomWindow(db, New Point2d(2, 2), New Point2d(8, 8)) End Sub

thanks gile
Actually, I run command ZOOM E first,then run the command to execute ed.SelectWindow.
And the fact is, if the view is large enough the selection is correct,but when Zoom extent or zoom out to a very small size, the selection always contains some entities outside the range.
