Today’s 10 second Tip of the Week is: the [ WPolygon ] and the [CPolygon] command

Now if you’re like me, every once in a while you'd like to use a different shape, other then the default square you get when selecting objects.

Now you can!

After typing in a command such as [copy] or [move], you have the option to select objects using a polygon. this is basically so you can narrow down and really select only the object you really want.

one option is the WPolygon command. after typing in a command simply type [wp] and you will have the option to create a polygon and select everything within the lines. after creating your shape hit return, and those object will be selected.

the other options is the CPolygon command. after typing in a command type in [cp] and you will be allowed to create a polygon and select everything that crosses the lines. after creating your shape hit return and those objects will be selected.

now that you know the steps, get out there and practice. don't be so square.
