Selecting Multiple Objects

The Select command,

, can be used to select multiple objects. Once a set of objects is selected, you can easily move the entire group, maintaining specific spacing within the group. You can additionally modify the property options shared by the selected objects, allowing you to quickly change the appearance of all the selected objects at one time.

From the Edit menu, choose Select. Alternatively, click the icon on the main toolbar.
On the template, place the cursor outside one of the four corners of the desired group of objects and press and hold the primary mouse button.
While holding down the primary mouse button, drag the cursor from the starting corner of the group of objects to be selected to the diagonally opposite corner.
Release the mouse button once all of the desired objects are within the bounding box.

To select a group of non-barcode objects, you must define a rectangle that completely encloses the desired objects. Any object that is not completely within the bounding box of the rectangle will not be selected. You only need to enclose at least 50% of barcode objects to select them.

Selecting Non-Adjacent Objects

You can also simultaneously select non-adjacent objects. To do so, click

to activate the Select command and then hold down the Shift or Ctrl key as you click on each object that you want to select.

The Shift and Ctrl keys can be used in a similar manner to remove objects from a group of selected objects. After the group has been selected, hold down the Shift or Ctrl key and click each object that you want to deselect.
