Entering a Selection Fence

Filter Assistant

When you select elements in a selection window, you can do so either with a selection rectangle or by defining a freeform selection window known as a fence.

To enter a fence

1. After you have selected a tool for modifying elements (e.g. moving), click Fence on/off on the Filter Assistant toolbar.
2. Enter the fence in the workspace by setting points.

   To close the outline, click the first point again.
