    Exclamation Attached image and shift-deselect conflicting

    I'm not sure if this is and AutoCAD issue or a Civil3D issue. I've produced the following behavior in both Civil3D and while running Civil3D as AutoCAD.

    I have a drawing with an attached image. The image is displayed under my linework. The problem occurs when I try to create a selection set. I can use a crossing window to select the lines I want, but if there is something I do not want to select, normally I can shift-pick to deselect the items. If I try to do this over the image, the following message appears on the command line:

    Image(s) not selected.
    Select Image(s) then issue command.
    This happens both when the image is loaded and unloaded. Holding the shift key down while picking seems to be telling AutoCAD that I want to pick the image, but that's not what I want. Even if I begin the window outside the image, I am unable to complete the window deselection by picking anywhere on the image. I've tested this in other drawings and the behavior is the same.

    The selection modes that I have shecked in the options box are:
    noun/verb selection
    implied windowing and
    object grouping.

    The imageframe variable does not seem to make any difference either. Even with the image frame turned off and the image unloaded, shift-picking always selects the image.
    I want my normal shift-deselect behavior back.

    it sounds like Raster Design is installed? If so, check the Raster Design options for how to change the shift-click behavior

    Does Civil 3D have a shift+left click option?
    Give people a job worth doing, the tools to do it, recognition of a job well done & get out of the way.

    Try MAPIOPTIONS. In the Raster Extension Options dialog look under the General tab. Down near the bottom you should see "Shift+Left Click Image Selection"

    Hallo to everybody! It is my first post.

    Two weeks of searching... Now I am very happy. Thank you @Glenn Pope!

    But to stop functionality of Shift+Left Click Image Select in AutoCad Raster Design do 1 and 2:
    1. Raster Design (toobar)>Options>Mouse Settings>uncheck Shift+Left click image select
    2. Command Prompt>MAPIOPTIONS>Raster Extension Options>General>uncheck Shift+Left Click Image Select
