To work with existing objects, you need to select them. Selected objects become a temporary group called the selection set. AutoCAD LT commands operate on each object in the selection set.
With AutoCAD LT, you can either enter a command and then select the objects or select the objects first and then enter a command.
The most common selection options are covered in the following sections. For information about other methods of selecting objects, see SELECT.
Selecting Objects Individually
Selecting Multiple Objects
