Select Under Cursor

About

Select under cursor simplifies the selection of overlapping entities by providing a list box of the entities to make your selection from.

Command(s):

SELECTUNDERCURSOR or SUC

Select under cursor can be run in multiple ways:

• Direct from the command line.
• Run transparently from another command. To do this, simply use an apostrophe in front of the command call e.g 'SUC.
• By pre-selection.

When prompted to make a selection, simply position the pick box over multiple overlapping entities and pick. Following selection, a list box will appear with a list of entities found under the cursor location. By default, the first entity on the list will be selected and highlighted on the screen. In turn, selecting other entities from the list box will highlight them on the screen. Once you've found the entity you want, simply pick the OK button to select it. Alternatively, you can double click the item on the list.

The chosen entity will be selected on the screen, ready to work with. If you've run transparently then the selected entity will be returned to the parent command to work with.

This command is included with our enhanced right click context menu for BricsCAD, making it easier to utilise, including options to access from the QUAD.
