Remarks

The following selection modes are available:

Fence

Selects all objects crossing a selection fence. The fence is defined by coordinates in Point1.

WindowPolygon

Selects objects within a polygon defined by Point1.

CrossingPolygon

Selects objects within and crossing an area defined by a polygon. Use Point1 to define the coordinates of the polygon. AutoCAD will close the last vector of the polygon. A polygon definition cannot cross itself.

This method supports the filtering mechanism.
