Too many profiles to select manually for extrusion

[MrPrezident]

I am new to fusion 360 and I am having trouble figuring out how to organize my sketch for optimal extrusion. I have a sketch that is somewhat complicated, with various extra lines and circles going all over the place. Most of them are just to facilitate constraints to the diagram so that it can be resized. Some simple shapes need to be extruded, but every time I do that it is a huge pain because the shapes are broken up into tons of little pieces, and I have to select them all before extruding. In the attached example, I'm trying to extrude a hollow cylinder, but there are tons of little pieces like the one in the image that need selecting in order to select the entire cylinder. Is there a workflow to get around this issue like hiding certain lines or putting them on different layers, or to I need to select each piece manually for every extrusion?

If you turn all this extraneous lines etc into construction lines, basically every line, arc., circle, etc.  that does not directly contribute to a profile to be extruded, that will make it much easier.

You can change the construction lines in to Construction lines, that should help. Just select a line or curve and press x to toggle between normal and construction.

Thanks! I didn't notice that option. That gets rid of 90% of the problem.
