Block Select

The Arrange | Selection | Block Select command selects items by dragging a rectangle around them. To avoid accidentally moving an object when block selecting, click the Block Select command from the Arrange menu. The block select command is available at all times in the program. Click outside one corner of the object, hold the left mouse button down, and then drag the mouse to the opposite corner of the object to select it. If an object is properly selected a bounding box surrounds the object. Set block select options in File | Options.
