# Select a graphic object on a graphic display

You can select a graphic object on a graphic display in multiple ways.

## To select a graphic object on a graphic display, do one of the following

- On the graphic display, click the object. When a graphic object is selected on the graphic display, the selected object will also be selected in the Object Explorer.
- In the Object Explorer, click the object. You can select only one object in the Object Explorer.

When a graphic object is selected, selection handles appear on the object on the graphic display.

Tip: | When the Select tool is active, the cursor is represented by an arrow. When you select another tool, the symbol for it appears below the arrow. To select more than on object, select the first object and then press Ctrl and click the other objects on the graphic display. To select all the objects on a graphic display, from the Edit menu, select Select All. If the graphic display contains grouped objects, Select All selects the group only, not the individual objects within the group.
