Command.select Event

Parent Object: Command
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/UserInterface/Command.h>

Description

This even fires when the user selects an entity. This is different from the preselect where an entity is shown as being available for selection as the mouse passes over the entity. This is the actual selection where the user has clicked the mouse on the entity.

The entity and mouse position on the entity can be obtained through the Selection object returned through the selection property of the SelectionEventArgs object provided through the event.
