selecting items from multiple layers

Mason Collins Jun 23, 2015 5:08 PM

I have a drawing where I am trying to move several entities but some of them are on a different level and will not select using the click and drag method, I don't want to have to go in a select each line individually, is there a way I can select those lines along with ones in a different layer?

Make sure those layers are not locked.

    Sorry confused a bit, is it a SOLIDWORKS Drawings OR DWG/DXF?

      Didn't want to question the mighty Deepak. I was scratching my head on locking layers. I think Mason is either trying to select something in the sheet format while he is on sheet or he is trying to move sketch entities and notes at the same time which will only work with the move command from my experience.

You should be able to select every entity unless its on your sheet format layer. Are you trying to make a Title Block? Post a pic when you box select.
