Lasso Region
Selects objects within a complex or irregular region with a single mouse action.
You can use Lasso to select either objects that are completely within the selection region (window method), or objects that
are either within or touched by the selection shape (crossing method). Toggle between the window and crossing selection methods
by using the Window/Crossing toggle on the main toolbar.
NoteIf you hold down Ctrl while specifying a region, the affected objects are added to the current selection. Conversely, if you hold down Alt while specifying a region, the affected objects are removed from the current selection.
Procedures
To select using a lasso:
- Click (Lasso Selection Region).
- Drag to draw a shape around the objects that should be selected, then release the mouse button.
NoteTo cancel the selection, right-click before you release the mouse.
