When a figure is marked or a click is made in "thin air," all
previous markings are automatically removed.
If several figures are marked simultaneously when a click
is made, it means that these figures are "combined" with
each other. (See under "Combining figures".)
11.5.2 Marking with the marking box
This method (it is also referred to as the rubber-band or
lasso method) is suitable for marking several figures, if the
following condition is fulfilled:
All the figures to be marked are situated such that they
(and only they) can be framed by a box.
Counter examples can be found under "Marking with the
<Shift> key".
Case 1: The figures to be marked are not situated on a com-
mon background surface.
Icon: "Hand" (Keyboard: <H>)
➡ The last graphic figure drawn is marked.
Anchor point of a marking box for all figures to
be marked.
Starting from this anchor point, a movement of the mouse
will produce a "rubber band" which will be stretched to en-
compass the figures to be marked.
Second corner of the marking box
The directional keys can be used for fine positioning
at the second corner
➡ All marked figures are now framed together within a
single marking box with 8 handles (four in the corners
and four on the middle of the sides).
In addition, each separate figure is framed by a dotted-
line rectangle (without handles).
