Selecting Objects

Bounding Rectangle and Object Handles

When you select an object or objects, PowerScript displays a bounding rectangle around
the object with object handles at each of the four corners.
The bounding rectangle completely surrounds the selected object or objects and serves as
a visual aid to help you identify selected objects. The object handles provide a way to
manipulate the selected object or objects.
