Menu : SELECT

Command: Collect:Selection

Shortcut : None

This command allows you to interactively gather chosen objects into a new element of user defined name.

A parameter box will appear which allows you to specify if you wish to select objects that are totally inside a rectangle drawn on the screen or all objects that are close to it. You will also be asked whether you wish to collect a copy of the items.

After giving the above parameters, draw a rectangle on the screen to select the objects. They will be stored in the new element.
