Multiple Selection

You can select multiple objects in a diagram window by holding down the right-mouse key and dragging the mouse cursor to form a box around the objects that you want to select. When you click the mouse to position the opposite corner of the box, the box disappears and all objects within the area of the box are selected.

If you want to select objects of only one or more particular types, you must click on one instance of each type of object that you want to select, and hold down the SHIFT key while dragging the mouse to form the box around the area in which you want to select the objects.

See Figure 74, for an example:

To select only the name text in the design, you click on one instance of name text and then hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and drag the mouse cursor to form a box around the design.

When you click to place the opposite corner of the box, the box disappears and the name text in the diagram is selected:
