Suppress object selection highlighting when no AutoCAD command is active.

If you want to switch off (disable) selection preview highlighting when you move cursor over objects in you DWG drawing, set the variable SELECTIONPREVIEW to 0 or 2.

You can also change this setting in the Options dialog, in the Selection tab, section "Selection preview" and the button "Visual effects".

Note: SELECTIONPREVIEW influences also other commands, e.g. the FILLET previews.
