Selection by area

 

 

 

This mode allows you to select all the items included in an area.

 

Use:

 

Click the icon or select Visualization > Selections > Selection by area... from the drop-down menu.

 

 

 

  • Only the items included in the zone will be selected.

  • Unlike the selection by curve, elements which are intersected by this area aren't taken into account.

 

 

A click in the graphic area followed by a cursor displacement (by keeping the CTRL key pressed) allows to create a rectangular selection. The frame creation direction is important. It allows to have a strict selection (all elements completely inside the selection frame are selected) or non strict (all element in contact or inside the frame are selected).These 2 modes are differentiated by the frame color and type of line. (blue and solid line for the strict mode, green and doted for the non strict mode).

Strict mode: only the circle is selected

Non strict mode: The 2 segments, the fillet and the circle are selected
