Selection modes

There are three selection modes: moving and changing size, rotating,

and editing points.

The default mode for selecting objects depends on whether the Points

button on the Drawing toolbar is active (appears lit) or not inactive

(appears dark or dimmed) .

In standard mode (when you begin a new drawing),

the Points button is not active, and the default mode

is for selections to be moved or changed in size; these

selections are indicated by small green squares.

When the Points button is active, the default mode is

for selections to be edited; these selections are

indicated by blue squares. Some objects will have one

or more extra handles, which are larger or colored

differently. This is explained in more detail in the

Draw Guide.

Selections for rotating objects are indicated by small

red circles and a symbol representing the center of

rotation. To choose these selections, click on the

Effects drop-down button from the Drawing

toolbar.

Changing the selection mode

To go from one mode to another, you can do one of the following:

• Toggle the Points button on the Drawing toolbar to switch from

the simple selection mode to the Points mode . You can also use

the keyboard shortcut F8 (Points).

• Choose the Effects drop-down button from the Drawing toolbar

to activate the Rotation mode for a selected object.

• If you often work in Rotation mode, you can choose the Rotation

Mode after Clicking Object button from the Options bar, you

can cycle through normal and rotation modes just by clicking on

the object. This can be more convenient than clicking the object,

then clicking the Rotate button from the Drawing Toolbar.

• To stop working in Rotation mode, click the Rotation Mode after

Clicking Object button again.
