Selecting Objects for Block Editing

There are several methods available for the selection of objects for block editing.

Select objects directly

Objects like projects, pages, project data, and components can be selected for block editing by using direct selection via a mouse click.

Highlight objects of the same type

Preconditions:

  1. Move the mouse pointer over the desired object.

    The object is shown in a different color.
  2. Select the popup menu item Highlight objects of same type.

    All the objects of the selected types are marked in color on the currently open page and shown with their insertion points.

Select objects within an area

EPLAN also offers the option of selecting objects for block editing within an arbitrary page area. To this purpose hold the left mouse button down and move the mouse pointer to draw a frame around the desired objects in the graphical editor.

Highlight objects of the same type in an area

Within the area you have defined with a frame, it is also possible to select objects of the same type. Also use the popup menu item Highlight objects of same type here.
