Select objects by point & click

Click Transform > Select Object as necessary (generally activated by default), and click objects to select.

The simplest way to select objects is by pointing and clicking with the mouse with the Select Object tool activated. Using Shift and Ctrl keys, you can select multiple objects. Both outlines and/or filled areas can be selected. Clicking an outline selects an object even if another is above it. Where you have a mixture of closed objects, you can select object outlines or fill stitches.

To select an object which is behind another object, zoom in and click the outline. Alternatively, position the pointer over the object, hold down the 2 key, and click until the object is selected. Each click selects the next overlapping object.
