Selection modes
There are three selection modes: moving and changing size, rotating,
and editing points.
The default mode for selecting objects depends on whether the Points
button on the Drawing toolbar is active (appears lit) or not inactive
(appears dark or dimmed) .
In standard mode (when you begin a new drawing),
the Points button is not active, and the default mode
is for selections to be moved or changed in size; these
selections are indicated by small green squares.
When the Points button is active, the default mode is
for selections to be edited; these selections are
indicated by blue squares. Some objects will have one
or more extra handles, which are larger or colored
differently. This is explained in more detail in the
Draw Guide
.
Selections for rotating objects are indicated by small
red circles and a symbol representing the center of
rotation. To choose these selections, click on the
Effects drop-down button from the Drawing
toolbar.
