Selecting and De-selecting Objects

■ Selecting Objects
To select an object, move the mouse to the object you want to select and then click the left button.
To add an object to the selection, use Shift + Click.
To select all objects of the active screen, use Ctrl + A, or use the Select All command on the Edit menu.

■ Selecting Objects by a Rectangular Area
Left-click on the blank area of the screen, and hold the button to begin your selection. Where you click will become one of the corners of the rectangular selection area. Then drag the mouse diagonally. Release the mouse button when you reach the position that you want the opposite corner of the rectangular area to be.

Each of the selected objects will have blue square-shaped tabs around it. The object with solid tabs is the reference object.

■ De-selecting Objects
To de-select objects, either click the blank area of the screen, or make a new selection.
