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

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