How many times have you tried to pick an object that was underneath another object? Some times it's not so easy, especially if you have several objects in a busy area.
Solution: Start your command (move, copy, delete, whatever). Place your cross hair over the desired object (or stack of objects).
If you can't select the proper object, press the shift key and spacebar (Shift+Spacebar) simultaneously to toggle through the stacked objects. When the object you want is highlighted, pick it and you are on your way.
Happy CADDing.
(I had to edit this post because I wrote that you press the CTRL+Shift to do this - what a Moron I am. Sorry about that.)

Have you ever had the need to select an object in AutoCAD that was "underneath" another object? There is a way to toggle overlapping objects.
Start your command, then start picking objects. When you come to the overlapping objects, place your cursor over the object, press and hold the "SHIFT" key while pressing the space bar. While holding the SHIFT key down, press and release the space bar to "toggle" through the overlapping objects until the one you want is highlighted. Presto!! You can pick the proper object.
