ARRANGING THE ARRAY COMPONENTS
Vu-Net has a number of tools available to help keep the system diagram looking tidy.
Selecting elements can be done in a variety of ways. The most obvious is a single mouse click;
the selected object will show the small black squares in the four corners around it. A subsequent
click anywhere else will de-select the object, as will click on a second object. The selected
element can also be changed using the left, right, up and down arrow keys, the object selected
will jump in the direction of the keys.
Selecting multiple objects can be done two ways. First you can draw a box around multiple
items. Click and hold in the corner of a group of objects and drag over all of them diagonally.
A box will appear round all selected items until you release the mouse button whereupon all
objects within the box will be selected. You can draw the box from any corner in any direction.
If you need to repeat this action several times you can select the Marquee tool from the Palette
menu which changes the mouse cursor to a cross and enables box-drawing mode. Click on the
Select icon in the Palette to return to normal select mode.
Secondly you can click to select an element then press and hold either Ctrl or Shift and click on
all other elements you wish to select. Note that you can use a combination of selection modes
if necessary; use the box-drawing method initially then Ctrl or Shift click to add additional
elements to the selection.
Deselecting an element from a multiple selection must be done with Ctrl + click. With a multiple
selection there is always one primary element, by default the last one added to the selection.
This will have the familiar black squares in the corners; all other selected items will have white
squares. You can change the primary element by a further Shift + Click on an object. Deselecting
all objects is done in the same way as a single item by clicking anywhere on the work surface.
The icons on the tool bar offer quick and easy alignment of multiple objects, there are five tools
available:
