How to select multiples object with the mouse

Post by paul_france »

hello,

here is is simple question: is there a way to select multiple object (for example all the Text Box) using the mouse, without having to click the Control button?

Hello paul_france,

You can switch to "select comments" in the main menu:

And will then be able to drag a selection rectangle - but that will select not just one type of annotation, but rather all that fall within your selection area.

Alternatively - you can open the comments pane, group annotations by type, and then a single click on the desired type of annotation should select them all.

If you have more than one type of comments, and they are spread over multiple pages - then you can e.g. group by page, and then only show the desired type of comments - so that you can select them easier:

Kind regards,
Stefan
