To Change Object Selection Settings

You can customize many aspects of how objects are selected in order to speed up your work.

  1. Right-click in the drawing area, and choose Options.
  2. On the Selection tab, choose the settings you want. Among other settings, you can set
    • Whether objects to be selected are previewed during selection.
    • Whether selected objects are highlighted. Turning off selection highlighting can increase program performance, and does not affect grips on selected objects.
    • Whether the interactive outcome of active commands are previewed.
    • How you define selection areas and how you create selection sets.
    • Whether you can select objects before you issue a command (noun/verb selection checked).
