To avoid accidentally canceling a selection:
1 Make your object selection.
2 Click the Selection Lock toggle on the status line, or press Spacebar to
turn on Locked Selection mode.
To exit sub-object selection mode, do one of the following:
1 In the Modifier Stack display, choose the object level.
2 Open another command panel. This turns off Sub-Object selection.
If you've turned off Sub-Object selection and object selection is still not
restored, one of the following may be true:
3 Your selection is locked. Turn off the Selection Lock toggle on the status
line.
4 You've set the Selection Filter in the toolbar to a specific category of
object, so you can't select any of the other categories. To fix this, choose
All in the Selection Filter list.
Coordinate Display
Status bar > Coordinate Display area
The Coordinate Display area shows the position of the cursor or the status of
a transform, and allows entry of new transform values.
The information in these fields varies, depending on what you are doing:
■ When you are simply moving the mouse in a viewport, these fields show
the current cursor location in absolute
world coordinates on page 7975 .
■ While you are creating an object, these fields also show the current cursor
location in absolute world coordinates.
■ While you are transforming an object by dragging in a viewport, these
fields always show coordinates relative to the object's coordinates before
the transformation was started.
While you are transforming an object, these fields change to
spinners on
page 41 , and you can type values directly in them, as described below in
