After a new model has been started, by default, the program is in Select mode. The mouse cursor is used to select objects before performing certain editing, assignment, display, and output operations. When the model is locked, the program is always in Select mode.
Use the Draw menu > Set Select
Mode command or Set Select Mode button

if the Esc key is used while the program is
in Draw mode.
The various commands on the Select menu can be used to specify selection criteria.
To exit Select mode, use any of the button or commands described in the Draw Mode topic of this Help.
