Selection (window select) not selecting all

peter.jADKPP — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 17:05:16 GMT

For some reason, unless I zoom in very tight, often using the selection window doesn't select all lines/points, etc. This happens in deleting, copy/paste, move, break link, etc. There's almost always some straggling entities.

I'm using Fusion 360 on a windows machine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the Fusion 360 community and thank you for posting! There is a known issue where you cannot select arcs with window selection. (FUS-28676) However, if you are unable to select lines, there could be another issue. I'm trying to reproduce the issue but I haven't confirmed it at the moment. Would you be able to record a screencast that shows the issue and attach the file if possible?

Also, could you try double clicking to select all the connected lines as a workaround?

Yes, I now see that it seems to be a problem only with arcs. However arcs can be window selected if I zoom in close enough to see the actual arc segment. This is ok on a small(ish) sketch, but not acceptable on larger/more complicated sketches.

Other than individually selecting those arcs with repetitive mouse clicks, is there another work around solution. As it is now this issue creates a LOT of extra work and has caused me to make several errors (especially copy/paste and breaking links).

Not sure a Screen cast is necessary as you seem to understand the problem already.

Thanks for your support.

Peter

@masa.minohara on to it

@peter.jADKPP sorry there is no way around it yet, you just have to check you have selected everything it is a pita but will be fixed.

Peter,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience but as Daniel mentioned I'm not aware of any other workarounds for this at the moment. Hopefully the development team will fix this issue soon.
