Using Polygon Mode

The Using Polygon mode is found in the menu under the Select tool in the Edit ribbon group on the Design tab. You can also right-click in the design window and choose Select > Using Polygon. This selection mode enables you to select all objects within a polygon you create. Each time you click, a new starting point for the next line is created. You control the length and angle of each polygon line you create.

Use this mode to draw around a specific geometry or model feature you want to select, for example, a protrusion of other geometry you may want to clearly identify. Using a polygon shape for selection can apply when you are, for example, trying to select an irregular or angular shaped part, or assembly of parts.
