AutodCAD selecting Rectangle

[Anonymous]

In AutoCAD when you click and drag the mouse cursor it draws a rectangle which lets you to select objects. In my computer currently it draws a sector of a circle. How can I change it back to rectangular mode?

You can also get the rectangular ones instead of the lasso, without  changing that setting, by simply clicking and releasing [not holding down]  the left mouse button in empty space.

To add what Kent said, you can hold the left mouse button down which gives you the lasso, but if you hit space bar while holding mouse left click it gives you a dashed line. Everything that the line crosses is selected. Space bar works as a toggle between dashed line, blue section lasso, and green lasso. I find the line select handy sometimes for tight spaces zoomed in close.
