To select more than one part, do one of the following:
Click mouse button 1 on one of the parts you want to select, then hold
down the Ctrl key and click mouse button 1 on each additional part you want to
select. Remember, the last part selected is the primary part, or the
anchor around which sizing and alignment operations take place.
Click and hold mouse button 1 on a part. Then move the mouse
pointer over each additional part you want to select. After you have
selected all the parts you want, release mouse button 1. This is
generally referred to as a swipe select.
Note:
Swipe selection is not supported on Windows platforms.
Note:
When multiple parts have been selected, the information area displays
*Multiple selection*.
