Opens the additional options to select objects.

Fence

Selection of objects by a crossing line which can consist of several segments.

Crossing

The option opens the prompt in the command line:

Enter a projection option [None/Ucs/View/] <None>:

Options:

None Only objects that are crossed by the specified boundary in 3D space are selected .

Ucs Defines the projections of objects in the XY plane of the current UCS and cuts objects which are not intersected by the boundary in 3D space.

View Defines the projections of objects in the direction of the specified view and cuts objects which are not intersected by the edge.

Edge

Specifies the cutting mode of objects by imaginary extension of the edge.
