I find that the objects selected when zoomed out get unselected when I zoom in

Anonymous — Mon, 22 May 2017 08:11:51 GMT

when I select some specific set of objects and zoom in to put in the final point, I note that the objects previously selected get automatically unselected, which ends up being very irritating.

How can I ensure that whatever I have selected continues to be selected, whether I zoom in or not ?

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

What version of AutoCAD are you using? AutoCAD 2017 & AutoCAD 2018 both support retaining off-screen selections. Prior versions do not.
