    Default Problems with selection

    Hi,

    I am hoping somebody can help me out with a poblem with some selction settings in Autocad 2012. If I select a grip on the end of a line and try and drag it, lots of lines that are connected to that line are selected also, and move with it. I think there must be system variable controlling this that is set incorrectly, but for the life of me I can't work it out!

    Hope somone can help!

    Cheers

    Are you sure you are dragging a grip of a line, not a polyline or a group of lines?

    If so, maybe some constraints are active on the objects. use DELCONSTRAINT to delete them. If constraints are being applied automatically, you may want to turn it off by CONSTRAINTINFER set to 0.

    If not, maybe its part of a group. Press Ctrl+Shift+A to toggle grouping on/off.

    Hi Arshiel, for some reason constraints were being applied, using delconstraint has worked.

    Thanks for that, much appreciated!
