Hi,
This may have already been posted/answered before but I have no idea how to describe this so I doubt I would find anything by searching.
I'm using AutoCAD LT 2009
Say you have two lines on the screen and you want to move both of them at the same time. Instead of dragging a box over the two lines you individually pick them by clicking on each of them separately. When you click on one of them it highlights it however, when you click on the other line it highlights the new selection but un-highlights the first one. I have since discovered that if after clicking on the first line I hold the shift key I can click the second line and both are still highlighted. I have no idea whatsoever as to what I have done and I would greatly appreciate some help. It's driving me mad!

Try Tip #4044 from the Tips & Tricks "If you can select always only a single object, use the SHIFT key to select multiple objects or return the http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/variable.asp?cmd=PICKADD - - PICKADD variable back to its default value 1 (one)."
Great place to search the Tips & Tricks section of Cad Forum CZ.

Use the 'stretch' command man. Just type it into the command line, hit enter and streeeeetch those lines all at the same time. |

Thanks for the stretch reminder!
I believe the post was, move the lines. ------------- Tankman "When the well's dry, we'll all know the value of water." |
