Selecting objects

Before you can work with an object, you must select it. You can select an individual object, multiple objects or all objects on a page. When you select an object, a selection rectangle appears around it.

The gray circle in the object’s lower-right corner is a resize handle (see Resizing objects).

The green circle above the object is a rotation handle (see Rotating objects).

The downward arrow in the object’s upper-right corner is a menu arrow. Press the menu arrow to display a menu of commands.
