Selecting blocks and wires
If you want to move, duplicate or delete one or more blocks that are currently shown on the canvas of the model editor, you first have to select the required blocks.
To select a single block on the canvas, you just need to click the block. With a block, the resulting behavior depends on the mouse button that you use:
*When you click the block using the left mouse button, the block is selected and the block parameter editor is shown (see also Editing the parameters of a block).
*When you click the block using the right mouse button, the block is selected only (the block parameter editor is not shown). This is helpful if the editor would be in the way, for example, when adding a wire to another block.
To select a single wire, you just need to click the wire (you can use either mouse button in this case).
To select several blocks and/or wires at the same time, do one of the following:
*Press Ctrl and click each block and/or wire that you want to select.
*Or to select an area containing several blocks and wires, click and hold down the mouse button over an empty space of the canvas and wait until the mouse pointer changes to a cross. Then drag the mouse to select the desired area. Release the mouse button when all required blocks and wires have been selected.
*Or to select all blocks and wires, press Ctrl+A.
To deselect your selection:
*Press Ctrl and click the currently selected block or wire.
*Or to deselect all selections, click an empty space of the canvas.
