To select a graphics object
1. On the Edit Menu, click Select or click the mouse cursor icon in the Draw toolbar.
2. Click on the graphics object. For example, using Window_12, click on Fill Level. This
causes the text box to be selected, with small square blocks around the edges indicating the
boundaries of the object. Deselect the object by clicking somewhere else in the work area.
3. When a graphics object is selected, it can then be modified, copied, deleted, or moved to a
new location.
To select multiple graphics objects
1. On the Edit Menu, click Select or click the mouse cursor icon in the Draw toolbar.
2. Click and hold down the left mouse button at the upper left corner of the graphics objects you
wish to highlight. For example, using Window_12, click to the left and above of Motor
Speed.
3. Move the mouse cursor to the lower right corner of the highlighted objects. Notice that a
rectangle is formed as you do this. In this example, move the mouse to the right and below
Fill Level.
4. Release the mouse button. The rectangle outline changes to small clear square blocks around
the perimeter of the objects selected. Now both objects are selected.
5. Alternatively, you may select objects by holding down the CTRL key while selecting each
object until all objects are selected.
6. When several graphics objects are selected, they can easily be moved, deleted or copied
together.

screen. To use this option, you must first select the overlapping object.
2. On the Edit Menu, click Select Next Object or click on the Select Next Object icon on the
Standard toolbar. You can also right-click on the top-most object on the screen. This will
