Window Selection

The Window option is invoked by typing W in response to the "Select objects" prompt. Window allows you to define a rectangle using two points in exactly the same way as the RECTANGLE command. Once the window is defined, all objects which lie entirely within the window will be selected.

The Window selection box is shown as a rectangle with a solid line	Only objects entirely within the window will be selected
