Selecting objects
Before you can modify an object, you
need to distinguish it from the objects
around it. You do that by selecting the
object with one of the selection tools.
Once you’ve selected an object, or a part
of an object, you can edit it by moving
or copying, deleting, or adjusting paths.
You select objects with one of three
selection tools:
• The selection tool lets you select
entire objects or an entire path by
selecting any spot on the path.
• The direct-selection tool lets you
select individual anchor points or
segments on a path and displays all
direction lines on a path for adjusting.
• The group-selection tool lets you
select groups of objects by clicking any
object in the group. Each additional click
adds the next objects in the grouping
hierarchy to the selection. See Grouping
and ungrouping objects for more
information.
