Select Box Mode

This mode, which can be used in conjunction with the normal select mode allows you to drag a box in the main navigation window to select multiple items at once. This mode is also mutually exclusive to the navigation modes so that when you are selecting, you cannot navigate and vice versa.

Dragging the box will select all items within the box. Holding down the Shift key while dragging the box will select all items within and that intersect the box.

You can select multiple items in the main navigation window using the familiar Windows methods of holding down the Control key while selecting items. This will add them to the current selection. Alternatively, if the items are already in the current selection, holding down Control while selecting them again will remove them from the current selection.

To select multiple items using a draggable box

• Go to Viewpoint, Navigation Mode, Select Box

or

• Click Select Box on the Navigation Mode toolbar.
