Strobe lights&nbsp;flickering when you pass the cursor across objects in your&nbsp;drawing? That&#8217;s because of object highlighting.<\/p>\n<p>Selection preview in AutoCAD&nbsp;temporarily highlights objects so you can easily identify the correct ones before actually selecting them. Usually that&#8217;s a good thing. Sometimes, however, it can get overwhelming \u2026 especially in drawings that contain a lot of Xrefs, tables, groups, text, or hatches. When you pass the cursor over a hatch, for example, you can get a flickering effect as it&nbsp;moves across the many lines and spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, AutoCAD provides a significant amount of control over the selection preview behavior.<\/p>\n<p>To use selection preview filters for object highlighting, follow these three simple steps.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"applying-selection-preview-filters\">Applying selection preview filters<\/h2>\n<p>1)&nbsp;Right-click anywhere in the drawing area (with&nbsp;no&nbsp;objects selected) and choose Options from the right-click menu.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3585\" style=\"width: 267px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/autocad-2017-selection-preview-filters-01_xfyqy7.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3585\" data-lbwps-width=\"257\" data-lbwps-height=\"398\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/autocad-2017-selection-preview-filters-01_xfyqy7-194x300.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3585\" class=\"wp-image-3585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/autocad-2017-selection-preview-filters-01_xfyqy7.png\" alt=\"AutoCAD Right-click Menu\" width=\"257\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/autocad-2017-selection-preview-filters-01_xfyqy7.png 257w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/autocad-2017-selection-preview-filters-01_xfyqy7-194x300.png 194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AutoCAD Right-click menu<\/p><\/div>\n<p>2)&nbsp;Choose the Selection tab.
