Select and move geometries on the map

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

Reworking a site plan usually starts with picking up something that's already there, a building, a parcel, a road, and moving or adjusting it.

Activate the Select Tool

Click the Select tool (icon looks like a hollow arrow cursor) in the drawing toolbar, or press V, to select and move whole geometries.

Select a geometry

  1. With the select tool active, Click a geometry to select it.

  2. Shift-click to select more than one.

  3. Click and drag over empty space to box-select everything inside it.

Press Esc to clear your selection, or Delete/Backspace (Cmd+Backspace on Mac) to delete the selected geometries.

Select All, Lasso, Toggle X-Ray Mode, and select by type or ID all live in the ••• menu's Select submenu.
