Selecting and Deselecting Objects

To select an object, position the pointer on the object’s border and click. Selection handles appear around the object. If you move the pointer away from the object and click, the handles disappear and the object is deselected.

Note: If an object has no fill (N selected for a pattern), you can select it only by clicking its border.

To select multiple objects:

• Shift-click each object you want to select.

• Drag a marquee to completely enclose all objects you want to select.

• Choose Select All (Cmd-A) from the Edit menu.

Note: When multiple objects are selected, any changes you make affect all selected objects.

To deselect objects:

• Click away from selected objects.

• To deselect selected objects one at a time, Shift-click each object you want to deselect.
