Hi,

 

you have to complete your selection procedure to make (previous) work well.unexpected ESC press button cut your selection procedur.

so you have to reselct them again.

You are re-explaining what I already explained before, I want solution for that problem.

There is one command which select your previously selected data.

I am in a search of that command!!!

Hi,

 

>> There is one command which select your previously selected data.

Command _SELECT or _PSELECT and then (while asked to select objects) use _P for selecting the previous selection set.

 

Even if you don't like to hear that:

As you have ESCaped a command DURING selection you have to accept that this selection was never finished and so not stored as "previous selectionset".

Only selected objects within a command selection are saved as "previous selectionset" in the memory (as long as the command was finished and not interrupted).

Sir,

" _P " command select pan not previous data. I was into the same dilemma that "_P" and "_Select" selects previous data wherein it is not working for me. I am using AutoCAD 2015.

Help me with another solution please.

Hi,

 

>> Help me with another solution please.

Maybe I was not clear enough, sorry.

 

You can't undo <ESC> and so reselect something from an interrupted selection.

Probably not.  If a selection was interrupted by ESCape and never completed, it can't be recalled by any means I know of.

Oops. -I was skimming this thread and didn't realize they were mid command.  I was struggling with a similar issue for a split sec.
