General Rules

Prehighlighting

As a selection tool is moved over an object, "features" turns bright blue. This indicates that the "feature" can now be selected with a single mouse click

A selected "feature" is indicated by red.

If the mouse pointer is moved over a selected line, the colour of the "feature" turns to orange.

Selecting more than one "feature" is achieved by holding down the Shift key while selecting.

An alternative method is to click and drag a "rubber band" around all the "features" which are required.
