Selection Tools

The Selection Tool Palette provides several tools and modes for selecting graphics. These add to the basic capability of the default Arrow Tool for selecting and deselecting graphics. To move a graphic(s) that is already selected use the Hand Tool .

Graphics are selected so that they may be the focus of an action or modification. A selected graphic is drawn with control handles, the small colored rectangles. Groups of graphics are selected so that they may all be the object of a modification (e.g. move a selected group of graphics).
