Cross polygon selection instead of lasso selection?

[Anonymous]

Hey!

Is there any way to customize the lasso selection with mouse and replace it with the cross polygon command? 

As I use CPolygon much more...

If not, an alternative solution would be editing in-line command letters (pressing CP when using the SELECT command) with closer keystrokes.

Cheers!

Hi,

when lasso selection is started just press <SPACE> as often as needed to change the mode of lasso ==> crossing/window/fence ... does that help?

Space doesn't toggle to the option of polygon though. I think that what OP is looking for.

Exactly, Cross Polygon fits best my needs.

Not sure of a way to to edit the inline CP, but it's easy to assign a shortcut key to the select-cp command in the cui.

So,  I solved it by creating a custom lisp, my first one 🙂

(defun C:CS ()
(command "select" "cp")
)

(defun C:CSS ()
(command "select" "wp")
)

Thanks anyways for your replies!

Hi! I would also like the polygon back instead of the lasso, but I'm not advanced enough to understand how to employ that lisp? any recommendations?

If you want lasso sometimes remember a lasso selection is click and drag, whereas polygon window is click, click.

If you want to turn off the lasso option all together in Options, Selection, deselect Lasso check box.
