OK. It’s so easy with a variable in AutoCAD. Do step by step as follows:

  • Step 2: Input value 1 > Enter to finish and now enjoy your result.
Value Description
0 Off-screen selection is off
1 Off-screen selection is on with the limitations of mouse input support only. Also, zoom/pan will hit some limitations during the selection.
