When you click on the selected object, its outline

appears briefly through the objects on top of the

selected object.

In the illustration to the right, the square located

beneath the circle was selected in this way (the circle

was made transparent in order to see the square).

Arranging objects

In a complex drawing, you may have objects stacked up, one on top of

the other, with the result that a particular object is hidden by one or

more other objects above it. You can rearrange the stacking order of

objects (move an object to the front or to the back of the stack) by

selecting the object, clicking Modify > Arrange and selecting the

appropriate Bring Forward or Send Backward option, or by right-

clicking the object and selecting Arrange from the context menu, then

selecting from the list of Bring Forward or Send Backward options.

On the Drawing toolbar, the Arrange tear-off menu on the button

contains the above options. A keyboard shortcut is Shift+Ctrl++ to

bring an object to the top, and Shift+Ctrl+− to send an object to the

bottom.

Draw also provides tools for aligning multiple objects; details are given

in the Draw Guide.

Selecting several objects

To select or deselect several objects one by one, press the Shift key

and click on the various objects to be selected or deselected. One click

on an object selects it; a second click deselects it.

Moving and dynamically adjusting an

object’s size

There are several ways of moving or changing the size of an object.

The method described here will be called dynamic in the sense that it

is carried out using the mouse.

When you dynamically change an object, remember to check the

central area of the status bar at the bottom of your screen. This area

shows detailed information about the ongoing manipulation. This

information changes when the mouse is moved.
