Crossing Window selection is unclear how to use.

FAB 3000 has three different selection window(s): 

* Window (i.e only objects completely contained in the window are selected)

* Crossing Window (i.e objects that overlap/cross the window are selected)

* Implied (choose between Window & Crossing Window)

 

The default selection window in FAB 3000 is "implied"; this is a similar technique used in AutoCAD and other large CAD software tools.  What that means is the following:

1. To get a selection Window (i.e only objects completely contained in the window are selected), select a point to the left of the objects and drag your window across towards the right.  You will see a blue window indicating you are in select Window mode.

 

2. To get a selection Crossing Window (i.e only objects completely contained in the window are selected), select a point to the right of the objects and drag your window across towards the left.  You will see a green window indicating you are in select Crossing Window mode.
