Select a graphic object on a graphic display

You can select a graphic object on a graphic display in multiple ways.

To select a graphic object on a graphic display, do one of the following

  • On the graphic display, click the object. When a graphic object is selected on the graphic display, the selected object will also be selected in the Object Explorer.
  • In the Object Explorer, click the object. You can select only one object in the Object Explorer.

When a graphic object is selected, selection handles appear on the object on the graphic display.

Tip:

  • When the Select tool is active, the cursor is represented by an arrow. When you select another tool, the symbol for it appears below the arrow.
  • To select more than on object, select the first object and then press Ctrl and click the other objects on the graphic display.
  • To select all the objects on a graphic display, from the Edit menu, select Select All. If the graphic display contains grouped objects, Select All selects the group only, not the individual objects within the group.
