Selecting objects

The Finger tool test00000081.gif and the Arrow tool test00000082.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 test00000083.gif, click a point (waypoint, mark, etc.) to select it (it is highlighted).

If you use the Arrow tool test00000084.gif, instead of the Finger tool test00000085.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 test00000086.gif or Arrow test00000087.gif tools.

Note: to deselect all the point selected, click the chart using the Finger test00000088.gif or Arrow test00000089.gif tools, or click these tools in the Tools palette.

Selecting a region

Using the Finger tool test00000090.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 test00000091.gif can be used in exactly the same manner as the Finger tool test00000092.gif, but it covers a rectangular region and not a free-form one. As with the Finger tool test00000093.gif all the points in the region are selected.

Note: to deselect all the points selected, click the chart using the Finger test00000094.gif or the Arrow test00000095.gif tools, or click these tools in the Tools palette.
