2. Window Selection tool in AutoCAD
The Window selection allows us to pick two diagonal corners (X, Y) which select everything that comes completely in the selection window (press left click and drag left to right). Blue color represents the Window Selection.

3. So you can see in example, the window selection can select only 3 circles. The selection is very useful when you want to select only the objects that come inside the selection area only.

4. Crossing Window Selection in AutoCAD
Now the second type of selection is Crossing Window Selection. If you want to use this selection (press left mouse button and drag right to left). You can see in image the selection is being shown in green color.

5. The result is 6 selected out of 9
The result is 6 selected out of 9. This means the Crossing Window Selection selects all the elements whether they are completely or partially inside the window selection.

6. Polygon Window selection in AutoCAD
The Polygon Window selection allows us to pick more than two points defining a polygon in which selects everything within the polygon. First select move command (m) and type (wp) for Polygon Window Selection than you can select any object. This selection type is very good to selected elements and drawings on an odd angle or shape.

7. In above images you can see that only that part is select which is under the polygon window selection.
