Moving things ?

Anonymous · ‎03-10-2018

Hello,

Just upgraded to AutoCAD LT for MAC (from 2014 Version).

When I want to move something I click on a couple of things then when I go to the third the first two undo.

How do I keep adding to the group of elements I want to move ?

I know it's somewhere is the settings ....

Hi,

Can you verify that System variable PICKADD?
It should be equal 2 in order to have an ability to add objects to selection set without pressing Shift key:

Thank you very much for your help Maxim, but where do I find ‘PICKADD’ ?

In the meantime thanks for the tip about pressing Shift to add to the selection, that helps a lot.

Best wishes
