Selecting objects

The Finger tool tes00050.gif and the Arrow tool tes00051.gif are used to select points and/or objects (lines, areas) in order to apply modifications such as removing or modifying the position (see paragraphs above).

Selecting points and objects

Using the Finger tool tes00052.gif, click a point (waypoint, mark, etc.) to select it (it is highlighted).

If you use the Arrow tool tes00053.gif, instead of the Finger tool tes00054.gif, the complete object (line, area), to which the point clicked belongs is selected.

Note: you can make multiple selections by holding the Shift key down while you click points or objects using the Finger tes00055.gif or Arrow tes00056.gif tools.

Note: to deselect all the points selected, click the chart using the Finger tes00057.gif or Arrow tes00058.gif tools, or click these tools in the Tools palette.

Selecting a region

Using the Finger tool tes00059.gif click then drag around the region to be selected; when you release the mouse button, all the points located in the region that you have covered are selected (waypoints, personal marks, track points, etc.). They are highlighted.

The Arrow tool tes00060.gif can be used in exactly the same manner as the Finger tool tes00061.gif, but it covers a rectangular region and not a free-form one. As with the Finger tool tes00062.gif all the points in the region are selected.

Note: to deselect all the points selected, click the chart using the Finger tes00063.gif or the Arrow tes00064.gif tools, or click these tools in the Tools palette.
