To select the inverse of your current selection in AutoCAD, you can utilize the "Invert Selection" option. This tool allows you to quickly switch your selection to include everything that was previously unselected and unselect everything that was previously selected.
Steps to Invert Selection
Here's a straightforward way to invert your selection using the AutoCAD interface:
- Go to the Home Tab: Make sure you are on the Home tab in the AutoCAD ribbon interface.
- Find the Select & Search Panel: Locate the Select & Search panel, which is generally situated towards the left of the ribbon.
- Access the Select All Drop-Down: Within the Select & Search panel, you'll see a Select All drop-down menu.
- Choose Invert Selection: From the Select All drop-down menu, click the Invert Selection option.
By following these steps, the items previously selected will be deselected, and the items that were not selected will be selected, thereby inverting your selection.
