Unable to select multiple polylines

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi, this is the first time I post on the forum so let me know if there is a better way to ask a question.

 

I'm having trouble selecting multiple polylines, when I select lines to the left with the green box they select fine but if I try to select another polyline or object it deselects my previous selection. I never had this problem before is there a setting i swithch on or off?

 

thanks for the help

Set PICKADD to 1 or 2.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

Hello @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

As a test try the following; 

 

  • Change PICKADD variable to 1.
  • Also while in a Command you can choose R and Remove selections. A to Add. If the need arises.


I am sure other users will be posting very shortly with their input as well. Let us know if this helps. 

 

Please select Accept as Solution if my post or any other post in this thread resolves your issue, or reply with additional information if the problem persists.
