Selecting objects

To select a single object:

  1. In Graphics Builder, click Select.
  2. Click the object. The object's sizing handles appear, and the cursor changes from an arrow to a hand while on the object.
  3. Note: To add other objects to the selection, hold the Ctrl key and click each object in turn. To deselect an object from a group selection, while still holding the Ctrl key, click the object again. To select every object in the drawing, use Select All from the Edit menu. To deselect every object, click anywhere other than on an object.

To select a group of objects using a marquee box:

  1. In Graphics Builder, click Select.
  2. Click and hold the left mouse button and drag the cursor across the page. This creates a temporary bounding box. Any objects within the box will be selected when you release the mouse button.
  3. Release the mouse button.
  4. Note: To add other objects to the selection, or remove objects from the selection, hold the Ctrl key and click each object in turn. To quickly select every object in the drawing, you can use Select All from the Edit menu. To deselect every object, click anywhere other than on an object.
