Select Another Element

Sometimes, two or more drawing elements overlap each other. When this happens, the first element found at the cursor location will be selected when using the Select Element tool or clicking the right mouse button near the edge of an element.

(Pre-drawn figures select better from the center, bezier curves from their ends.) 

To select another element occupying the same location:

• Press the F3 key 
• Select "Search For Another Element at This Location" from the right-click popup menu.

The file will be searched further. 

If another drawing element shares that location, it will be selected instead of the currently selected element. 

When the plan has been searched to the end, it will start again at the beginning of the file.

If there is no other element sharing that location, the currently selected element will stay selected.

When all selected elements are of the same type, additional options are available.

For instance:

If all selected elements are walls, you can do things that pertain to walls, like changing the wall thickness or the fill pattern. All selected walls will reflect these changes.

If all the selected elements are text, you can change the font specifications for all the selected text elements.

But, if the selected elements are of different types - i.e. some are walls, some are text - then you are limited to operations that can be performed on any element like moving, copying, etc.
