The pointer tool

The first and most important tool is your "pointer tool". This tool allows you to select and move vectors, images and objects. It can also be used to resize boxes and text boxes. The pointer icon looks like this:

  • Clicking on an item will select it, from there you can edit the selected item. 
  • By clicking and dragging you can select multiple items. 
  • By holding shift you can select or deselect multiple items by clicking on them. 
  • Boxes and text boxes may be resized by selecting the box by clicking on it and then clicking on the corner of the box and dragging to the size you require.
  • When using another tool the pointer tool may be temporarily selected by holding cmd.
  • Ctrl + click will effectively right click and present you with a pop up menu for that item.
  • Holding Alt will temporarily select the Subselection tool.
