3Selection behaviour

Product	How selection works
ACAD	Edit, Clone, Generate and other model commands can use objects selected before the command starts.
BCAD	Uses the same preselection pattern through BricsCAD selection APIs.
DCAD	12d does not expose another option's active selection. Generate uses a pre-launch Single/Multi Source Box. Edit, Clone, Annotation and Dimension use a pre-launch output-window pick. Bulk tools open a compact direct-selection panel automatically: left-click each source and select Done. Clone placement accepts repeated Plan X/Y points while preserving source Z.
