This function allows you to select existing objects rather than
create new ones. It works the same as Modify frame
in the Frame
editing module. You can select individual objects by clicking on them.
It is possible to select more than one object at a time by holding
down the [Shift] key while you select each one. You may also select
objects by drawing a "rubber band" around them while holding down the
left mouse button (click on an empty area and then drag out a
frame
). Click through
also works in the same way as in
the Frame editing module: If several objects are superimposed, you can
select them in turn by repeatedly clicking in the same place.
You can switch between Create
and Select
modes by
clicking the right mouse button.
If you want to resize several objects at once, you must group them
first into one frame. Whereas this happens automatically in the
Distort object
and Rotate object
functions described
above, you have to create a temporary group frame by holding down the
[Alternate] key and pressing the right mouse button anywhere
in the window. All selected frames will be joined into a group frame.
Note: This grouping is temporary, so that as soon as you select one of the individual frames, the objects will be ungrouped again automatically.
