command <lasso selection>
« on: January 27, 2015, 09:20:35 AM »
Is there a way to start lasso selection from the commandline? Strangely, this doesn't seem to be documentated.
Sometimes i have some difficulties working with mousebuttons when i hoover over objects like hatches.

Thanks in regard

Design is something you should do with both hands. My 2d hand , my 3d hand ..

You mean like use the fence option for selecting objects,? example command: move > F <make a fence through your objects>
Or maybe Cpolygon or Wpolygon is more like lasso.


This is covered in your link, but maybe that's not what you want to do.
I believe you need to start out with a command first that requires objects to be selected, and then type in your selection type.

Yes, lasso! indeed, that is what i meant
Fence and polygon selection is covered allright.

So, where can i find it..?

Command: s
Select objects: 'select
** That command may not be invoked transparently **
*Invalid selection*
Expects a point or Window/Last/Crossing/BOX/ALL/Fence/WPolygon/CPolygon/Add/Remove/Multiple/Previous/Undo/AUto/SIngle
Select objects:

I don't think there's any selection method in AutoCAD that's actually called "lasso" but there are a few options which could be described that way:

Window.  W.  Usually invoked transparently by selecting left to right.  The user creates a rectangular "lasso."  The result is to select all objects wholly within that rectangle.
Crossing Window.  C.  Usually invoked transparently by selecting right to left.  Like a window except that object touching, or crossing, the selected rectangle or lasso are also selected.
Window Polygon.  WP.  The user creates an irregularly shaped "lasso."  Anything wholly within that shape is selected.
Crossing Polygon.  CP.  The user again creates an irregularly shaped "lasso."  Anything within or touching that shape is selected.

Hope this all makes sense and helps :)

Lasso does exist. It's new for 2015.
