Selecting objects

When you want to change an object, you will normally have to select it. Objects are usually selected and deselected using the Selector Tool (although other tools provide a limited range of select options). When an object is selected a selection marker is shown on it and selection handles, edit handles, fill handles and fill arrows are displayed on and around the selection (if they have been enabled, see below).
