usmanliang,
Thank you for your reply however that is what I am trying to avoid. Instead of selecting by region I just want to drag a window across the screen and ANY entity whether hidden or not should be selected. At the moment only visible entities are selected. I agree I could use the select by region but I find this a rather cumbersome process for a very simple job. All FEA packages I have used to date allowed the selection of hidden objects which I why I am finding it hard to believe that a package like straus7 doesn't offer this.
