Shortcut Key: Ctrl+A

Selects every editable object in the drawing. This makes it easy to manipulate all objects as a group rather than having to perform the same command on every object individually. Objects that reside in layers that have been defined as uneditable in Layer Options are not selected.

TIP: If you have a number of objects on the screen and need to select all but a few of them, choose the Select All command to select them all. Then depress the Shift key and click on the objects you don’t want to be selected. This is much faster than selecting each object individually.
