General Concepts of Editing Elements
Main Concepts of System Operation
In editing commands, element selection is done by the cursor. To select, move the cursor to the element and
click or press . Different elements are highlighted in different ways. Some are painted with
colors, others surrounded by a frame. To relocate a selected element, move the cursor to the desired position
and click . The element will relocate (if the method of its snapping allows that).
If a wrong element was selected, cancel the selection with the option:
Cancel selection
or select the next nearest one using the option:
Select Other Element
The subsequent elements of the given type can be selected by using this option repeatedly.
In editing commands, the user can select multiple elements using box selection. To do so, move the cursor to
the intended location of one corner of the box, press and hold , and drag the cursor to the location of
opposite corner of the box, then release. If the cursor was moved left-to-right when marking the box, then all
elements are selected that are fully within the specified region. In this case, the selection box is drawn on the
screen in a solid line. If the cursor was moved right to left, then objects are selected by the crossing frame.
That means, not only the objects that are entirely within the selection box, are selected, but also the objects
intersected by the box. In this case, the selection box is drawn on the screen in a dashed line.
A group of elements can also be selected by subsequent picks with the + combination. An
element can be excluded from selected by picking it with the + combination.
All existing elements of the given type can be selected at once using the option:
Select All Elements
