4.6 Making Multiple Selections from Lists
When you work with AutoMax Executive V3.x, you must select the
item that the next command or action will affect. Items are usually
selected one at a time, but multiple items can be selected and acted
upon by some commands. Each item will be highlighted as it is
selected. Note that the items selected do not have to be contiguous;
you can select any number of items that appear on the same screen
display.
If you are using the keyboard, use the DIRECTION keys to locate
each item you want to select. To select multiple items:
Step 1.
Use CTRL+DOWN (or UP) key to locate the first item you
want to select. A box comprised of dotted lines indicates
the item to be selected.
Step 2. Press SPACEBAR to select the item. The item will be
highlighted.
Step 3. Repeat the preceding steps for each additional item to be
selected.
To cancel multiple selections, press UP or DOWN without pressing
CTRL. To unĆselect a previously selected item, locate the item using
UP or DOWN, then press CTRL+SPACEBAR.
If you are using a mouse, click on the first item you want to select. To
select multiple items, press and hold CTRL while clicking on each
subsequent item. Items will be highlighted as you click on them. To
unselect a previously selected item, press and hold CTRL while
clicking on the item. To cancel multiple selections, click on any item
without pressing CTRL.
