Different ways to select the existing object(s) on the design.
Selection with mouse.
If you want to select an object of a design, you have to click on it while you are in object editing mode.
You can also select by clicking and dragging the mouse on the screen to draw a rectangle. All of the objects that are completely within this rectangle will be selected. When selecting items, if you hold the "Shift" or "Ctrl" key you can add or remove items from the selection.
Selection can be made also, from the "Sequence manager" or the options "Select all", "Select none" and "Invert selection" of the horizontal toolbar or the "Edit" menu.
If you are editing a complex design, you can use the Hide tools or the sequence manager to select the object you want.
The selected object(s) of the design can easily be seen by a rectangle similar to one in the following drawing:
Select all
Using this option from the "Edit" menu, you can select all the objects in the design.
The same can be done with the "Gray +" key from the keyboard or the button of the horizontal toolbar.
Select none
Using this option in the "Edit" menu, you can de-select all selected objects.
The same can be done with the button of the vertical toolbar or with click on an empty area of the current design.
Invert selection
Using this option from the "Edit" menu, you can reverse the objects selected - ie; select all 'unselected objects' and vice versa. This option is useful when you want to select all objects except a small group. You select the small group and then choose invert selection.
The same can be done with the "Gray -" key from the keyboard or from the button of the horizontal toolbar.
