All objects that are completely within the box are selected.
6. Specify a crossing selection box that completely encloses a few objects and cuts
through several others.
Move the crosshairs to a point below and to the right of some of the objects, click,
release the mouse button, move the crosshairs above and to the left of some of the
objects, and click and release again.
All objects that are completely within or cross through the box are selected.
AutoCAD continues to display the Select objects prompt.
7. Type WP and press Enter to activate the WPolygon selection option.
AutoCAD prompts you to pick points that define the selection polygon.
8. Pick a series of points and press Enter.
Figure 10-5 shows an example. After you press Enter, AutoCAD selects all objects
that are completely within the polygon. AutoCAD continues to display the Select
objects prompt until you press Enter.
9. Press Enter to end object selection.
AutoCAD erases all the selected objects and returns to an empty command prompt.
Notice how you could use a combination of object selection methods to build a selec-
tion set and then press Enter to execute the command on the selected objects. Most
AutoCAD editing commands work this way in command-first mode.
