Toggle to Select From Overlapping Objects

[rudybeuc@gmail.com]

It there a way to toggle through a series of overlapping objects in order to pick and select the desired one?

 

This has been driving me nuts for some time. I want to manipulate an object but cant select it. I'm tracing over a bitmap and VW always wants to select the bitmap.

 

I know about the show snap modify options for classes, but often I'm trying to manipulate objects on different classes.

 

Sorry for the background music in the clip, I didn't realize that was going to be recorded....

 

Thanks,

Yes. You need to use the Select Coincident Object command.

 

Hover over the geometry of the overlapping objects and an asterisk will appear beside your cursor. Right-click or Click and hold down the J key and choose Select Coincident objects. 

 

A list of objects will open and you can then select the correct object from the list.

 

Hope that is what you need.
