Choosing Selection Options

In addition to selecting groups of objects using a window or a window crossing, you can also click the cursor in a blank area of the drawing and then drag around the objects to create a lasso selection. Allow press and drag for Lasso in the Options dialog box on the Selection tab enables you to specify the lasso (Figure 3-55). For a traditional rectangular window or crossing selection, click and release to pick each corner of the rectangle.

Chapter Summary

This chapter provided you the information necessary to set up and draw conference and lecture rooms. You learned how to use many of the Draw, Inquiry, and Modify commands. You also learned how to use the command options Osnap, From, Tracking, and Polar Tracking, and you learned the uses of a drawing template. Now you have the skills and information necessary to produce conference and lecture rooms.
