Select Multiple Objects at a Time

Issue

You want to select multiple objects at a time. You may be currently unable to select more than one object.

Solution

The ability to select multiple objects is controlled by the PICKADD system variable. You may have this variable set to a value of 0, which makes only your last selection valid.

1. Type PICKADD in the Command line and press Enter.

2. When prompted to enter a value, enter one of the following:

• 1 (the most common setting): This value means you can keep adding objects to the current selection. 

• 2: This value works similarly to 1, except the objects will remain selected when the Select command is no longer active.
