      Method 3. LASSO Selection: Crossing, Window and Fence

      Crossing:

      Place your cursor in the area up and to the right of the objects that you wish to select (P1) then press and hold the left mouse button. (Do not release the mouse button.) Then move the cursor in an anti-clockwise direction until you have crossed the objects you want to select (P2) then release the left mouse button. (Note: The Lasso window will be green and outer line is dashed.)

      Only the objects that the Lasso window crosses will be selected.

      Window:

      Place your cursor in the area up and to the left of the objects that you wish to select (P1) then press and hold the left mouse button. (Do not release the mouse button.) Then move the cursor in a clockwise direction until you have completely enclosed the objects you want to select (P2) then release the left mouse button. (Note: The window will be blue and outer line is solid.) Only the objects that this window completely enclosed will be selected.

      Fence:

      With the Fence option of the Lasso selection you can place the mouse cursor in any position you choose. For this example place your cursor at (P1) then press and hold the left mouse button. (Do not release the mouse button.) Move the mouse until you see either the green or blue lasso, then press the Spacebar until you see just a Dashed Fence Line. Move the mouse over the objects you want to select (P2) then release the left mouse button. Only the objects that the Fence line crosses will be selected.

      Note: You may have to press the Spacebar twice to activate the Fence Line option.

       Example:

      1.Start the Erase command using one of the following:

      Ribbon = Home tab / Modify panel / image or Keyboard = E <enter>

      2.Select objects: Pick one or more objects Select objects: Press <enter> and the objects selected will disappear.

       Method 2

      Select the Objects first and then the Delete Key.

      Example:

       Note: Very Important

      If you want the erased objects to return, select the Undo tool Image from the Quick Access Toolbar. This will Undo the last command. More about Undo and Redo on the next page.

      The UNDO and REDO tools allow you to undo or redo previous commands.

      For example, if you erase an object by mistake, you can UNDO the previous “erase” command and the object will reappear. So don’t panic if you do something wrong. Just use the UNDO command to remove the previous commands.

      The Undo and Redo tools are located in the Quick Access Toolbar.

       Note:

      You may UNDO commands used during a work session until you close the drawing.

       How to use the Undo tool.

      1.Draw a line, circle and a rectangle.

       Your drawing should look approximately like this.

      2.Next Erase the Circle and the Rectangle.

       (The Circle and the Rectangle disappear.)

      3.Select the UNDO arrow. Image

      You have now deleted the ERASE command operation.

      As a result the erased objects reappear.

      How to use the Redo command: Image

      Select the REDO arrow and the Circle and Rectangle will disappear again.
