In NX5, I have always been able to select using the multi-select rectangle. Just recently I noticed that its not working, when I drag a window around some solids to select them, it should select everything that is included in the window. For some reason it doesn't select anything, though when I go and click on the individual pieces I am able to select with no problem...Not sure where this setting could have been changed. Any help?

Make sure that your selection filter is set to "no selection filter"
 
Yes, its set to "No Selection Filter" and also I am able to select items individually.
 
Preferences > Selection preferences > make sure the top two are set to what you want them to be, on mine they are set to "rectangle" and "inside"

I am on NX6, but I assume it is the same as NX5
 
That's what it was. Forgot to look there. Thanks.
