symbol selection in 2011

[helmut]

hi there,

I am unable to select symbols by window together with other elements (e.g. lines etc);

the other elements get activated as usual,

but all the symbols within the selection window stay deselected -

they need to be clicked on one by one.

is there anything new in 2011 that must be toggled...?

thanks in advance

What does the bounding box look like when the symbol is selected, is it bigger than the symbol?

[helmut]

hello ray, i am afraid no.

the bounding boxes of all the symbols lie completely within the selection window.

greetings

I haven't seen this, does it happen if you paste the symbol into a new file?

[helmut]

strange thing...

seems the software did not like yesterday?s holiday work -

everything OK this morning.

thanks ray.
