Selecting Fixtures By default, fxtures can be selected either by clicking the squares or by dragging a box around some fxtures (just like icons within Windows Explorer or OS X Finder). Multi-selections can also be made by holding ‘cmd’ on Mac or ‘Ctrl’ on PC. Several other selection options are available: 1. Rectangle selection (default): Drag a rectangle, any fxtures touching the rectangle will be selected. 2. Lasso selection : Draw a shape, any fxtures within the highlighted area will be selected. 3. Drag over selection : Draw a line, any fxture touching the line will be selected. 4. Select all : Selects all fxtures in the active group. 5. Invert selection : Selects all fxtures that are currently NOT selected in the active group. 6. Select½ : Selects fxtures 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. based on their position in the 2d view screen. 7. Select ⅓ : Selects fxtures 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, etc. based on their position in the 2d view screen. 8. Select¼ : Selects fxtures 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, etc. based on their position in the 2d view screen.

9. Shift up selection : Shifts all selected fxtures one to the right. 10. Shift down selection : Shifts all selected fxtures one to the left.
