Topic: Selection Set Highlighting

[Rob...]

In AutoCAD 2011 my selection set highlight is not working. The preview highlighting works fine but after I select an object, whether or not I'm in a command, it doesn't get highlighted.

Is there a variable for this?

One of these?
 
HIGHLIGHT

Controls object highlighting;               
does not affect objects selected with grips.         

0	Turns off object selection highlighting
1	Turns on object selection highlighting

SELECTIONPREVIEW

Controls the display of selection previewing           
Objects are highlighted when the pickbox cursor rolls over them. This selection previewing indicates that the object would be selected if you clicked. The setting is stored as a bitcode using the sum of the following values:         

0	Off
1	On when no commands are active
2	On when a command prompts for object selection

HIGHLIGHT is the one. Thanks Jeff. I couldn't get out of using selection when I was looking around.

No problem,
Glad it helped
