I am assuming you are using and have on more than 1 layer.  I would
try to erase (better yet move so you don't accidently lose all the
entities) using Area or Fence w/ crossing. This will tell you how many
entities are in that location. You can then narrow down the entity you
want. Some versions allowed selecting (using Identify) individually
multiple lines when they laid on top of each other, but, that doesn't
seem to work in DCAD 12.

My other thoughts are:

1. You either are using Mask or SelSets and may forgotten that either
is on.

2.  Under Settings, Miss Dist is set to 0 (zero). (Guaranteed to miss
all entities except fills & bitmaps.)
