Making Profiles From CAD DWG/DXF Files

Step 5 Select the parts to copy.

Select the lines and arcs in one of two ways: After selecting the first element of the profile, press and hold down the Shift key so that subsequent selections are added to the selection rather than replace the original selection. Try to get all the elements composing the profile selected and highlighted before copying the selection. If you need to unselect a line or arc, just left click select that element again to remove it from the selection. Often it is better to use a selection box, where you press and hold the mouse button while dragging a box around the entire selection area (similar to a zoom window command). You can delete any undesired elements from the selection once pasted into the part sketch.
