Rotating pick box when using snap angle...

[cnash]

Does anyone know if there is a way to rotate the pick box to match the current snap angle setting? I work alot with angled buildings and when I try to select a whole area at once, I have to go through the edges and pick objects one by one.

I don't think there is a way to do that, not in the lower versions at least, but have you tried using the FENCE command (type in F after you have entered your copy command, and simply draw a line through the areas you want)?

Thanks, I did try using the fence command. I can see that it will help out somewhat, but not 100%. When using the fence command, you have to make sure your fence line goes direct through the objects you want to select. So I would still take a few passes to get all the objects, as well as pick a few manually. But in a drawing that is not congested, as mine usually are, I am sure fence would work out fine.

I am using AutoCAD LT 2006, any other suggestions?

Have you tried Crossing Polygon selection (CP) or Window Polygon select (WP)?
