Selects all objects completely inside a rectangle defined by two points. Specifying the corners from left to right creates a window selection. Specifying the corners from right to left creates a crossing selection. Selects the most recently created visible object.
The object must be in the current space, that is, model space or paper space, and its layer must not be set to frozen or off. Selects objects within and crossing an area defined by two points. A crossing selection is displayed as dashed or otherwise highlighted to differentiate it from window selection. Selects all objects inside or crossing a rectangle specified by two points.
If the rectangle's points are specified from right to left, Box is equivalent to Crossing. Otherwise, Box is equivalent to Window. Selects all objects in either model space or the current layout, except those objects on frozen or on locked layers.
Selects all objects crossing a selection fence. The Fence method is similar to CPolygon except that that the fence is not closed, and a fence can cross itself. Selects objects completely inside a polygon defined by points.
The polygon can be any shape but cannot cross or touch itself. In this case instead of rectangular selection boxes you can make a polygonal selection box. In this case too if you make a window polygon then all objects completely inside the polygon will be selected. If you make a crossing polygon then all the objects within the polygon as well as objects touching the boundary of the polygon will be selected.
To make a window or crossing polygon click at any point in the drawing area and then type WP or CP for window polygon and crossing polygon respectively and press enter. In this example, I have made a window polygon to select all red circles from the drawing. You can use crossing polygon as well for the similar type of selections. Using this selection option you can create a fence in such a way that all objects touching that fence will be included in the selection set. To use this selection option click anywhere in the drawing area then type F on the command line and press Enter.
Your fence will start from the point of click, now move this fence to touch other objects in the drawing to make the selection. In this example, I have made a fence to make the selection of all yellow rectangles in the drawing. This type of selection can also be called as the free hand selection set, it is relatively new and it was introduced in the version of AutoCAD.
In this case, you can make a selection set simply by moving your cursor freely in the drawing area. You will notice that a free hand selection will be made. If you move your cursor towards the right side, window Lasso will be made. If you move your cursor towards left crossing lasso will be made. In the image below I have used crossing lasso to make a selection of objects of magenta colour. In case of lasso selection, you can press enter or spacebar key while in the middle of selection to cycle through Window, Crossing and Fence type of lasso selection.
An example of this type of selection is shown in the gif image below. Now type FS and press enter and then click on any one of the objects of drawing. You will notice that all the objects which are connected to each other will be selected. If you have accidentally selected any object s in your selection set then press and hold the shift key and click on the object which you want to remove from the selection set. You can also press and hold the shift key then make a selection, crossing or lasso window and instead of adding the object it will remove it from the selection set.
You can make meaningful selection sets using the quick select tool of AutoCAD. The quick select window as shown in the image below will appear. The properties entered so far will tell AutoCAD to select all circles from drawing with the radius less than 25 units.
Click OK to apply this selection criterion on the drawing and you will notice that all objects which meet the criteria of Quick Select window will be included in the select set.
This one is another simple yet powerful tool which can be used to make selections quickly from your drawing. You can also refine the selection criteria of the select similar tool by changing its settings. Auto select previous objects after running a defun of another routine cmdactive selection.

Posted August 2, Hi, I was hoping to LOAD a lsp file then call it via c:runthislispfile inside another routine to combine them in one.
