AUTOCAD-RIGHT WINDOW SELECTION

Hello,

 

I am using AutoCAD 2016.

 

I have been able to create a right window selection in the past.  But lately, I have been unable to select anything using a "right" window.  Is there a setting that turns this ability on/off ?

What is a right window selection?

Type PICKADD at the command line, then set the value to 1

Do I assume correctly that you're talking about picking a window in the rightward direction [second corner to the right of first corner], for a fully-contained-in-the-window selection rather than a crossing-the-window selection?  If so, are you talking about selecting without a command active [Darin.Green's PICKFIRST suggestion], or at a Select-objects prompt within an active command?  Does leftward crossing-window selection work when a rightward window doesn't?  I'm not aware of any setting that would affect one but not the other.  Does individual item picking work?

Darin,

 

Thanks for that idea.  However, the right window; selecting a screen location with cursor starting in upper right corner, then selecting lower left is simply not available, nor left window by picking from lower left to upper right.  I can only pick items individually.  Unfortunately the PickAdd and PickFirst settings do not have an impact on this performance.  Any other suggestions I am all ears ?

OPTIONS-Selection Tab,  Make sure that implied windowing box is checked.
