You can select all entity types in parts, assemblies, and drawings by dragging a selection box with the pointer.
When you select from left to right, all items within the box are selected. When you select from right to left, items crossing the box boundaries are also selected.
The default geometry type selected is as follows:
| Part documents |
edges |
| Assembly documents |
components |
| Drawing documents |
sketch entities, dimensions, and annotations |
To select entity types different from the defaults, use selection filters.
When selecting edges and faces in drawings, hidden edges and faces are not selected.
Use the
Shift and
Ctrl keys to select entity types:
- Shift selects everything within the box whether selected or not.
- Ctrl inverts the selection within the box.
- In both cases, any prior selections outside the box remain
unchanged.
To enable selection of hidden edges, click . Under Selection of hidden
edges, select Allow selection in
wireframe and HLV modes and Allow
selection in HLR and shaded modes.
