The Selection Cursor button stops the current drawing command and places the drawing in selection mode. In selection mode, elements can be highlighted, preparing them to participate in the action to follow, with the mouse cursor by clicking on them or by dragging an area around them. If a specific point on an element needs to be selected, drag an area around the only point as seen in the example below.
By selecting only a portion of the element, specific points can be modified by dragging the selected point or by entering new values into the Input Box.
By using the Select menu, groups of elements can be selected quickly and easily.
If the [Alt] key is held down while selecting an area, only those elements completely in the area will be selected.
If the [Ctrl] key is held down and the selected element is dragged to a new location or a new location is entered into the Input Box, a copy of the element will be created.
The [Esc] key will stop the current drawing command and place the cursor in selection mode.
