Postby McGinge » Sat Sep 08, 2007 9:52 am

I was wondering how difficult it would to be incorporate a classic "click drag" box into AR; ie like what you use in strategy games.

THis would save countless tab clicking, and also means I dont just select all and then have to delete all the rubbish when i paste again...

Any thoughts from you techies out there would be great!! :P :D

It's in the manual though.

Multiple selection

If you want to move, adjust or delete multiple nodes/links, you first need to select a group of nodes/links. To select/deselect a node/link, hold down [Tab] and left-click on it. Alternatively, you can select/deselect multiple nodes at once by holding down [Tab] and left-clicking in an empty space and dragging out a 'rubber band' rectangle.

Once you have the nodes/links selected, left-click and drag to move/adjust them or right-click to delete them. To rotate the selected nodes, hold down [Shift] and left-click and drag up/down. If you start the rotation by clicking on a node then that node will be the centre of rotation, otherwise it will be the average position of all the selected nodes.
