Selection Tool
You can use the selection tool to select and move blocks, text and connecting lines. You can select objects
individually with a left-click; you can select multiple objects with [Ctrl]+Click, or you can use the mouse
as a "lasso" to surround objects with a rectangle and capture them as a selection.
You can call the selection tool in any other tool by pressing the [ESC] key or by clicking on the icon in the
