Selecting objects
The Finger tool
and the Arrow tool
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
, click a point (waypoint, mark, etc.) to select it (it is highlighted).
If you use the Arrow tool
, instead of the Finger tool
, 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
or Arrow
tools.
Note: to deselect all the points selected, click the chart using the Finger
or Arrow
tools, or click these tools in the Tools palette.
Selecting a region
Using the Finger tool
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
can be used in exactly the same manner as the Finger tool
, but it covers a rectangular region and not a free-form one. As with the Finger tool
all the points in the region are selected.
Note: to deselect all the points selected, click the chart using the Finger
or the Arrow
tools, or click these tools in the Tools palette.
