Select all
Purpose
Selects the whole visible drawing: elements, dimensions and hatches.
Access
- Key: Ctrl + A (outside an input field; in an input field the key selects the field content).
- Command search : Select all.
Procedure
One call is enough. Only what could also be selected by hand is taken — the same gates apply to all three object kinds as for a single click and for the rubber band:
- Elements: visible, on a visible layer, locked neither through the layer nor through a group.
- Dimensions: the system switch Dimensions is on, the dimension itself is not hidden, its layer is visible and neither layer nor group is locked.
- Hatches: as for dimensions, plus the system switch Hatches and the Z level must be visible.
Locked or hidden objects therefore stay out and are not caught by a following Del. The Properties panel shows the common attributes of the selection.
Options
None. The selection filter does not apply here.
