Advanced Selections - Autocad Tutorial


The selection tools described in the Object Selection tutorial are fine if you only need to pick a few objects at a time or if you can easily see the objects you want to select. Sometimes though, your selection requirements may not be quite so simple. AutoCAD enables you to create selection sets by building database style queries that can make complex selections really quick and accurate. This tutorial describes the use of AutoCAD's advanced selection tools and how the selection options can be configured for better selection efficiency. - View Tutorial »

System Variables - Autocad Tutorial

AutoCAD is a complex program and one of its major selling points is that it is highly customizable. Every user will use AutoCAD differently. Some use icons, some use command line prompts. Each drawing is also different. You may have different text heights, or dimension styles from one drawing to the next. To keep track of these different parameters, AutoCAD uses a large number of system variables to do this. You have recently used one system variable: LTSCALE. This could have been changed in the Linetype dialog box, but typing LTS is easier and quicker.
