Selecting layers when clicking on polylines

Martin Williams's Photo Martin Williams 22 Oct 2020

Hi. When I click on an area where multiple polylines from multiple layers are present, nanocad usually asks me which layer I was intending to select, however it is no longer asking and is just selecting one of the layers. Perhaps I have changed a setting somewhere but not sure. Anyone able to advise how I can set it back to how it used to be? Thanks.

Doesn't seem to do it for me. Forgot to mention I am using NanoCad 5, not sure if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

I have figured out what the issue is. The Superimposed Selection menu (which is set to on) is not appearing. Any ideas why?

Hello,
F1 is your friend !

Selection of superimposed objects
The Show selection dialog command from the View menu switches on/off display of the Selection dialog box.

Thanks, ultimately the issue was the selection dialog box was off screen (just small sliver of the screen was visible). I had recently changed some monitor settings and somehow managed to get that box to be just off screen so couldn't see it. I have now moved the box and its all working well again.

The problem was operator error, not the software :)
