When drawing in CAD, when selecting elements, even if you select one extra line, you have to select it again, which is quite troublesome. Is there any other way? I’d appreciate some guidance from those who know more about this. I saw it online; one uses the remove command to delete the lines that are selected, but the command line shows “unknown command””

It seems like you need to enter ‘r’. If multiple items are selected, type ‘r’ in the command line; that will cancel the selection of those items. To add an item again, use ‘a’

I tried it; your method doesn’t work. If you want to add it, just select it directly

Hold down the SHIFT key, then use the mouse to select multiple lines – that’s it!

I made a mistake. What I meant is that, with the elements deleted, it’s possible to increase or decrease using r a. Sorry, this post was last edited by aquilani on 2009-3-3 10:11.]

Either method works; by holding down SHIFT and selecting multiple lines, you can select the opposite ones. If you use the “r” command to select objects that you don’t want, you then need to type “a” to continue adding more objects

Borrow it for use; whether selecting images by checking or unchecking them, the issue of multiple selections can be resolved using the above method.

Everyone uses this method; didn’t the original poster study any tutorials? Additionally: For other objects as well, you can hold down the Shift key and select them with a box to remove them.

Thank you, friend from Haichuan. Learned another trick*.

Regarding the selection issue, you can find very detailed answers by searching for “Selection Set” in ACAD’s help commands! I think holding SHIFT and then clicking on the line that doesn’t need to be selected is the simplest method.
