   I have noticed with my new 2009 that after selecting and highlighting one or more objects, then changing a property (for example colour), the highlighted selection set is automatically cancelled.
On all my previous versions of AutoCAD, the selected set would remain highlighted, enabling me to change a second or third property.

This is a little infuriating at times, as I have to re-slect all the items.

Please can someone tell me where I am going wrong.

Thankyou

	thanks for quick reply... unfortunately i still have problem. I already have noun/verb box ticked, so that I can select objects before changing their properties. ie. 1) I select an object. 2) It is highlighted. 3) I change the colour of object in the colour menu. 4) The object changes colour, but the highlight disappears. If I change the noun/verb box to empty box (unticked), then I can not select an object first to change it's properties. I have always been able to pick several objects (highlighting them), then change several properties at a time, without the need to re-select them again. Maybe I am going mad @_@ !
