Preselecting All Entities

Use the SelectAll command to select all drawing entities for subsequent modification commands.

To preselect all entities:

Click Edit > Select All (or type SelectAll).
All entities except those located on frozen or locked Layers are selected.

If EntityGrips are turned on, EntityGrip Nodes appear on the selected entities.
Apply a modification command.

Note: You cannot use SelectAll as the selection method in a running command. Instead, use the All option when prompted to specify entities.
