Another new feature in AutoCAD LT 2011 is Selection Cycling. You’ve always been able to cycle through overlapping objects before actually selecting them. A long time ago (pre-2007), this involved the Ctrl key; more recently, you can hold down the Shift key and press the space bar until the object you want is highlighted. In a really crowded drawing, though, that cycling method could take a while. Enter the new way. You can turn Selection Cycling on from its icon on the status bar. After you do, whenever you move your cursor over a busy part of your drawing, an icon appears next to the crosshairs indicating the presence of nearby or overlapping objects. Left-click while that indicator is showing, and you’ll see a list of all the eligible objects. As you move your cursor over each item in the list, the associated object is highlighted. To select an object, simply click on it from the list.
