No more Lasso

Anonymous — Thu, 12 Jul 2018 18:32:58 GMT

Up until this week, when I wished to pick several Items, I could drag a rectangle around them. Drag one way, and it selects only those Items within the rectangle. Drag the opposite way, and it selects any item within the rectangle AND any Item crossed by the rectangle.

I must have pushed some button, but now, the selection is by a Lasso.

How do I get it back to the other way?

Thanks for your quick AND correct reply.

I have no idea how it got set to "5", but, I'll remember to set it back to "1" if it happens again.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the lasso myself. I actually have this variable set in my acaddoc.lsp so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

This setting can also be found in the options under the selection tab on the left had side.
