3.4.1 Mouse Activities
Select Mode
The select mode is active when the cursor icon in the toolbar is highlighted,
Figure 3-2. In this mode, the mouse cursor is used to select, move and place
configuration icons on a display. An icon or object is selected with the left
mouse button, and if it is a configuration resource object, dragged onto the
workspace where it can be placed with another click of the left mouse button.
You return to the select mode by clicking the right mouse button or selecting
the icon after placing an object. To move an object after it is placed in the
workspace, select it with the left mouse button, pause and then click and hold
the left button while dragging. Place it by letting go of the button.
