Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE/TVL – ICT (Technical Drafting)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Antique and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE/TVL – ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet will help you
facilitate the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE/TVL – ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet is developed to help

you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides
you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an
active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the
activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the
agreed schedule.

1.3 Manipulate CAD features as per job requirement

II. Background Information for Learners

Introduction

This is a continuation of our last topic (Manipulating CAD features). Last

time, we started on basic drawing tool and line command. This time, we will
have object selection tools.
Object selection represents the current selection in a window or pane. A
selection represents either a selected (or highlighted) area in the workspace,
or it represents the insertion point if nothing in the object is selected.
What are the considerations which govern the selection of views for an
object? The only consideration is what do you need to completely and clearly
describe that object? It all depends on how well you can view that particular
detail in one of the existing views, how much space you have to add
dimensions or notes, and how you've decided to lay out your drawing.

Object Selection

Object Selection lets you identify the subject yourself just by drawing a rough
selection around it.

10 Ways to Use AutoCAD Object Selection

1. Pick Single

You can pick a single object when AutoCAD asks you to

select objects.

2. Window
 You can define a window selection by
clicking at two points. Click the first point on
the left side and 2nd point on the right side.
This will select all elements inside the
window.

If you pick your point’s right then left, it will be cross

window selection (will be explained next). These two
are the default window selections.

If you want to activate window selection, type W then [enter]. Type it when AutoCAD
asks you: select objects…

Even you pick points from right then left, it will be window selection.

3. Cross Window

If your window selection defined from right to left, it will be cross window selection. It
will select all elements inside and touch the window.

4. Fence

You can select drawing elements by defining ‘a fence’

that touched the objects you wanted. Just type F then
[enter] to activate it. After you finish defining your
fence, press [enter] to select.

5. Window Polygon

This option behaves as window selection, but you can define

unlimited points for that window. Just type WP then [enter] to
activate it. All elements inside the window will be selected.

6. Crossing Polygon

Similar to cross window selection.

7. Touching Objects
When AutoCAD asks you to select an object, type ‘FS then [enter]. We use ‘for
transparent use. Pick your object, then all objects touching it will be selected.

Select objects: ‘FS

Use ‘FSMODE to control chain selection. FSMODE = OFF Select touching object: 3
object(s) found. 3 found, 7 total

Select objects: Exiting Fastsel

FASTSEL is an express tool. So, if you don’t have express tools installed, it might
not work.
This selection is controlled by FSMODE system variable.
FSMODE = OFF (default), it will select objects touching your picked object only.
FSMODE = ON, it will select objects touching it and all objects touching them too.

8. Cycle Overlapping Objects

If you have many overlapped drawing elements or close to each other and
you are too lazy to zoom in, you can cycle between them by pressing [shift] +
[space]. Hold your [shift] key, and press [space] several times until you found
your object. Release your keyboard key, then click your mouse.

9. Select Previous Selection or Last Object

Did you ever want to select your previous selection? Easy, just type P then
[enter] when AutoCAD asks you to do selection!

10. Remove/Add

Sometimes it’s easier to select all elements then remove some of them from
your selection set. You can do this by holding [shift] and the select object you
want to exclude. OR, you can type R then [enter] to switch to remove mode. To
activate add objects, type A then [enter].

Bonus: Undo Selection

Here is a bonus option. You can undo your last object selection by typing U
[enter] while your selection set is still active. This is only undoing your last
selection.

Tips: When you are picking objects in a complex drawing, use the ZOOM
command transparently to make object selection easier. All Zoom options
selected from the toolbars are automatically transparent but if you invoke the
command from the keyboard you will need to enter zoom.

IV. Activity Proper

Exercise No. 1

Direction: Identify if the method of object selection is being shown. Write

your answer in a separate sheet of paper.

Exercise No.2 (Optional) –

Directions: IF you have resources (smartphone, PC or laptop with internet

connection), please search in the YouTube about the AutoCAD Object
Selection Tool and jot down in your notebook the significant details on each
parts of AutoCAD working environment. In case you do not have the said
resources, do not worry, this activity is optional.

V. Reflection. Please use separate sheet of paper.

This section provides you as learners the opportunity to write the lessons
you have learned after accomplishing your exercise/activities. This serves as
a simple learning journal for you to have the opportunity to express your
thoughts and revisit your learning journey and realize the importance of
resourcefulness and creativity. Here are the following questions:

a. What insights have you gained from your activity this week?
b. What significant values have you developed while doing your
activities?
c. What difficulties did you encounter and how did you overcome them?
