Unable to select multiple polylines

[Anonymous]

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.

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.
