Topic Title

I am finding that a Fence that includes both end points of a line does *not* select the line. I tried it in Mirror first, and then in Move, and in both cases, the line is left behind, even though the Fence included both end points of the line inside the Fence. (I'm not able to use Crossing.)

It worked when I tried it here, so please send in the drawing in which it happened. Let me know which line I should try to select, and where the fence was drawn.

Are you including the entire lines in the fence or just the end points. I don't think DCAD has ever selected a line if the entire line wasn't included in the fence or area unless you use crossing. And personally I prefer it that way because I use that as a way of excluding lines. If you can't use crossing, you can turn multiple on and select the lines separately.

I'm only including the endpoints - otherwise I could just use Area.

I'll try it again and see what happens. If it still happens, I'll email the file to you Mark.

Paul is correct -- including just the endpoints does not qualify the line for selection.

Okay, that is not how I understood Fence to work. And including the whole line can make it a lot harder to use.

So would fence with crossing work?

Possibly, but it might also be more complicated.
