Cursors in the Drawing Area
In the drawing area, the appearance of the cursor changes depending on what
you are doing.
If you are prompted to specify a point location, the cursor appears as
crosshairs
If you are prompted to select an object, the cursor changes to a small square
called a pickbox
When you are not in a command, the cursor appears as a combination of
the crosshairs and pickbox cursors
If you are prompted to enter text, the cursor appears as a vertical bar
In the following illustrations, these cursors are displayed in order.
You can change the size of the crosshairs and pickbox cursors in the
Application Preferences dialog box by clicking Cursor & Selection (the
OPTIONS command).
Selection Style
Selecting objects conforms to a selection style that is common to most Mac
applications.
Use click and drag to specify a rectangular selection area. Drag to the left for
a crossing selection, or drag to the right for a window selection.
Each time you select one or more objects, it automatically clears the previous
selection. To add objects to the previous selection, hold Shift as you select
them.
