Inverse selection

[kibitotato]

Is it possible to do a inverse selection into autocad?

Explain in more detail an example of your intentions in a DWG file.

Not possible to do it into a dwg file.
FOr example I have a superbig drawging with lines plines blocks arrays....
I want to select a part of the drawing ant then, invert the selection and have into the selection the other part of the drawing...

Use SELECT and pick the first part.  ESCape a couple of times to clear that selection, which will then be the "Previous" selection.  Then start whatever command you intend, type ALL to select everything, then type R for Remove and P for Previous to take the previous selection out of the current [everything] selection, so you're left with the inverse selection -- ENTER to finalize that and proceed with the command.

Possibly you can use the Group command to help.

Make a Group of objects that you have currently selected. Then SelectAll and Unselect your Group. Then Ungroup. Easy.
