mhupp Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I think that is letting you know about selection cycling. Quote Selection cycling allows you to select objects that are overlapping by pressing Shift + Spacebar. You can control whether a blue cursor icon displays to indicate overlapping objects and you can configure the display settings of the Selection list box. To filter the type of subobjects displayed (vertices, edges, or faces) use the SUBOBJSELECTIONMODE system variable. (Not available in AutoCAD LT.) Turn it off with (setvar 'SELECTIONCYCLING 0) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) @mhupp to the rescue, and spot on, as usual. I enjoyed reading the link too, thanks. FYI, in case you don't already know. As in the following screenshot. Should you have Selection Cycling enabled... My selection is ambiguous because of the overlapping leaders within my pick box. The display of those grips on that second leader means that the software is guessing, that is probably the one you intend to select, and it is shown blued out at the top of the list. Should that in fact, be correct, and your intended selection, just hit ENTER and it will be one selected. The presumptive selection will be at the top of the list and filled with blue. Should that not be the one you meant, as you click on other objects displayed on the list, that objects grips will be highlighted.
