Selecting Connected Objects

The Select Connected Objects command can select objects that are connected end to end with one or more selected objects. Any combination of connected lines, arcs, open polygons, open polylines, open NURBS curves, open 3D polygons, walls, and open round walls can be selected. The endpoints of each object must be touching either directly or indirectly to use this command. Objects that are not touching are ignored.

This command can be useful when an imported DXF/DWG file contains a large number of small lines that are connected end to end and you want to compose them into a single object.

To select connected objects:

1. Select one or more objects to which the other objects to be selected are connected end to end.

2. Select Edit > Select Connected Objects.

The selected objects are highlighted; the Object Info palette indicates how many objects were selected.
