Careful study of the Extents CS and Coordinate system parameters will help you understand this powerful tool.Įntity CS: Selector shell CS equals the CS of the selected objects. Because these settings work in tandem with other settings, their performance can become complex. When unchecked the Classic Selector Coordinate SystemĮxtents CS: Sets the coordinate system (workplane) used by the selector shell. Use Conceptual: Activates the Conceptual Selector (3D). Many of these parameters are the same as for the Selector 2D page. Options for 3D selection, containing additional options for selection boxes and Inspector Bar fields.

Note: The 2D Selector always moves the UCS (workplane) to the selection. Inspector Bar: Controls the 2D transformation fields that appear on the Inspector Bar. If not checked, only the selection shell is visible. Show Object while Dragging: Displays the selected objects dynamically as they are transformed. Link Selector Shell with Rotation Bar: If checked, when you press Ctrl and move the rotation handle, the selector shape will change accordingly. Show Rotation Bars: If unchecked, the rotation bar is not shown and is not accessible. Shell Shape: Select None to make the selector shell (bounding rectangle) invisible. Options for 2D selection and fields in the Inspector Bar. For text double clicking will allow you to edit the text content.Ĭustomize: Allows you to specify how double clicking will act for each class of objects. For most objects the will be the equivalent of activating the edit tool. The Inspector Bar contains transformation fields in X, Y, and Z.ĢD/3D Depending on Selected Object and Space Mode: Treats objects differently 2D objects are treated as 2D objects and 3D objects are treated as 3D objects.Įdit Properties: If this option is set double clicking on any object with the selector will open it Properties dialog.Įdit Content (Geometry): If this option is set double clicking on any object with the selector will set the object for editing. The Inspector Bar contains transformation fields in X and Y only.ģD Mode for Model Space: Treats all objects as if they are 3D, and only uses the 3D selection box. Simply click the Toggle 2D/3D* icon on the Inspector Bar.Ĭontrols how 2D and 3D objects are selected, and what transformation fields appear in the Inspector Bar.ĢD Mode for Model and Paper Space: Treats all objects as if they are 2D, and only uses the 2D selection rectangle. While working, you can easily switch between 2D and 3D Selector Mode, without having to open the Selector Properties window. You can also click the icon on the Inspector Bar to open the Selector Properties. (If the 3D Selector is active, the local menu item will be Selector 3D Properties.) This can be opened by right-clicking anywhere while in Select mode, and selecting Selector 2D Properties from the local menu. The properties of the 2D Selector can be set in the Selector Properties window.
