Selecting Objects

Click an object to select it in response to a prompt Select objects. A message such as "1 found" or "0 found" appears.

When choosing a series of objects, hold down Ctrl to keep the objects selected. Click an object again to deselect it.

You can select more than one object at a time by enclosing the objects in a selection window. At the Select Objects prompt, specify a rectangle with two corner points. Using the pointer, click the first corner, drag the pointer until all the objects are enclosed in the window preview, and click the second corner. Objects must be entirely within the window to be selected.

When you have selected all the objects you want, press Esc or Enter, or right-click to exit the selection process and move to the next prompt.
