 Hey, 

I'm using Autocad 2016 and LTGAPSELECTION is an unknown command.

As the tittle says, when i try to select on the gap of the line, it just go through, without select the line needed. Any sugestion?

I believe that was not a part of the program until release of 2017

LTGAPSELECTION is available from version 2017!

 

Try turning off hardware acceleration trough GRAPHICSCONFIG command

You mean that there is no way I can do this on this version? Click the gap to select the line?

If that doesn't work, than I am afraid it's not possible... only thing I can think of is to bigger the selection box, but I can imagine thats not what you wanna do!

 

Form version 2017 it is possible if I am right.

(I don't have AutoCAD here anymore, so can't check it out, only Revit on my machine :s)

 

A crossing maybe could also work I guess.

Crossing is, when your crosshairs are dotted instead of continuous (dotted or continuous depens on the movement bottomleft to upper right, or upper right to bottom left).

Just like newer vehicles come with airbag, old one have none and you buy new vehicles if you want airbag.

Not unless it was released with a patch later in the year, but i dont think they did that with this command. You can make sure your version is up to date and see if it in there, but i dont remember them pre-releasing that command.

Correct.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
