    Angry CAN ANYONE SELECT THESE ITEMS?

    Please see attached dwg. I cannot select any of the items in the file unless I use a "select all" and it's getting annoying. Anyone have any ideas?

    Just out of curiosity - right?

    Select ALL and move by 0,0,-18.6126. You can now Select and Erase all but the text item.
    Select ALL again and move by 0,0,84.9382. You can now Select and Erase the text item.

    I think the block insertion points have, somehow, become entangled with the text insertion point although the text has a different Zvalue from the blocks.
    List still shows the blocks but now with a Zvalue of 66.3256 but they can now be erased.

    After this the file is empty.

    How, why, who knows.

    HTH

    After I flattened everything to have a z value of zero, then it worked just fine.

    Hi

    Have a browse of the following threads (all three of them offer you a workable solution) -

    Text entities not there.....

    Quick select is not permitted in perspective view?

    "Extruded entities"????

    Have a good one, Mike
