Selection Windows

Good morning,
I was reading some material concerning ACAD 2007 and wondered if it worked in ABS 2007. The answer is "yes it does!" I thought these little tricks were fun so I wanted to pass them off to you all.

Selection Windows
Implied window: Go from left to right (up or down, doesn’t matter). Shows a solid line, enclosed items are selected.
At the "select objects" prompt type "W" and left to right doesn’t matter either.

Implied crossing window: Go from right to left (up or down, doesn’t matter). Shows dashed line, all items touched by the window are selected.
At the "select objects" prompt type "C" and right to left doesn’t matter either.

For either type of window:
At the "select objects" prompt type "WP" for window polygon.
At the "select objects" prompt type "CP" for crossing polygon.
At the "select objects" prompt type "F" for fence selection. (anything it crosses is selected)
