Selection Cycling

How can cycle through selections in Mac?

In the Windows version it is easy with Shift-Spacebar, but in Mac it doesn't work.

And I don't understand what the command "SELECTIONCYCLING" can do to solve this problem.

Thanks

Look trroug this article: Selection Cycling Through Overlapping Objects in AutoCAD For Mac

And be sure to set SELECTIONPREVIEW=3 before using Selection Cycling.

In AC 2012 shortcut CTRL+W for toggle Selection Cycling seems doesn't work, but Selection Cycling with SHIFT+Spacebar works regardless of Selection Cycling state.

Everything should work.

Thank you for your quick response. It was helpful!

Especialy to set the SELECTIONPREVIEW to 3 made the difference.

Hello!

 I'm having some problems with Selection Cycling 

I would like to pick between two different objects but nothing happens 

Different variables of systems are in these values:

• SELECTIONPREVIEW = 3 
• SELECTIONCYCLING = 2 
• LEGACYCTRLPICK = 2

Hi Maxim,

Yes i followed them

But nothing happened

Did you turned on Selection Cycling with Ctrl +W shortcut?
Do you see CC icon near crosshairs when you hover over intersect objects?

Yes

It is little bit tricky, here how it works on my side:

Hi. I also tried all the discussion here but it did not work in my CAD LT Mac. I also made sure the crtl+W is turned on still unable to have a way to select on multiple layer overlapping. What I am currently doing one by one I send to back in Order. Hoping I can use the fastest way in this case.
