Multiple objects

Click to select the first object, then press and hold the Ctrl key and click to select additional objects.

Range of objects

Click a primary object, then press and hold the Shift key and select the last object in a range of elements from a tree or table view.

Click a timing path to select the objects within it.

All objects

Use the Select Area cursor to select all the objects in an area of a graphical view. Alternatively, most windows support the Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut.

The Selection window (shown in the following figure) displays the list of currently selected objects. You can sort, deselect, or mark objects from this window. The list updates dynamically as you manipulate objects. To open the Selection window, select Window > Selection.
