Quick Select Multiple Objects

[JGraber]

I thought I saw in a tutorial video that it is possible to select multiple objects without having to click-drag over the entire object similar to the click-left drag in Acad where you only have to touch the object and it will select it. It sure would be a lot faster for me if this feature existed. Does anyone know what I'm getting at?

Hold down the option key (on a Mac - Alt on a PC?) while you drag. Any object the marquee touches will be selected.

Thanks, this works great.....I guess I need to get a list of all the shortcuts

Several people have already made keyboard maps. Here's one:

This was one thing I was wondering about alot.

Hold on, is it the same for VW12??

I do not find the System Pref as suggested by mr.iagea

No worries. Found the post by David L for this.

No, it's a Mac thing...

There are default Mac keyboard shortcuts that are duplicates of default VW shortcuts.

PS. Someplace on the list there is a map of v12 keyboard shortcuts.
