Command options:

? Opens the additional options to select objects.
Fence Selection of objects by a crossing line which can consist of several segments.
Crossing Selection of objects with a crossing frame.
Project Mode of cutting objects by intersection of their projections with the boundary in 3D space. The option opens the prompt in the command line:
Enter a projection option [None/Ucs/View/] :
  • Options:
  • None Only objects that are crossed by the specified boundary in 3D space are selected .
  • Ucs Defines the projections of objects in the XY plane of the current UCS and cuts objects which are not intersected by the boundary in 3D space.
  • View Defines the projections of objects in the direction of the specified view and cuts objects which are not intersected by the edge.
Edge specifies the cutting mode of objects by imaginary extension of the edge. The option opens the prompt in the command line: Enter an implied edge extension mode [No extend/ Extend] :
  • Options:
  • No extend Switches off the cutting of objects by imaginary extension of the edge.
  • Extend Switches on the cutting of objects by imaginary extension of the edge.
