Object concept
AutoCAD when working with the program, it is necessary to correctly define and understand the concept of object. Let's say Drawing on the toolbar "Pryamougolnik."» — A rectangle  the form executed based on the drawing command is considered by the program as a single object. This is exactly the form «Otrezok» — Cut if executed based on the command, the program will accept this form as four objects. Because in the first method, the action was performed with one command, and in the second method, the command to draw a straight line was repeated four times in a row.
  1.                                        3.
  1. "Pryamougolnik."» — A rectangle a rectangle executed based on the draw command. (1 item)
  2. "Otrezok» — Cut rectangle executed based on the command. (4 items)
  3. Forms consisting of a single object.
Selection of objects and objects
Selecting objects is usually necessary to edit them.
To select one object, the mouse pointer is moved over the object line and the left mouse button is pressed.
A dynamic frame is usually used to select multiple objects at once. A dynamic frame means selecting a group of objects based on a rectangle using the mouse. To do this, click the left mouse button in the area outside the perimeter of the objects and create a rectangle of blue or green color by moving the mouse. In this case, the frame must take the object or objects into its domain. After the object (objects) are located in the rectangular area, the left mouse button is repeatedly pressed. As a result, the object(s) indicate that the line type has been changed and selected. And the frame disappears.
Blue frame – is used to select the desired set of objects from a group of objects. Only objects that are completely within their territory are selected.
In this selection, the mouse pointer is directed from point 1 to point 2.
Select objects based on the blue frame. The result.
 
Green Frame – implies the selection of a complete set of objects. In this case, the object(s) will be selected even if any part of the object does not completely enter the frame area. If the object(s) are completely outside the frame area, then they are not selected.
Mouse movement is directed from point 1 to point 2.
Selection of objects based on the green frame. The result.
