The Selection Window

The Selection window allows you to easily select groups of similar items in your document so that you can apply the same changes to several items at once. To show the Selection window, choose Show Selection (⌥⌘S) from the Tools menu, or click the corresponding button on the toolbar. The selection window shows one icon for each type and style of shape (or other object) in the document. Above each icon are two numbers indicating how many shapes of its type exist and how many you've selected. Clicking items in the selection window will select all items of that type, and shift-clicking allows you to select multiple types of items. Once you've selected some items, you can use the Info window to change them all at once. In the example above, the document contains 1 hexagon (which is selected), one paralellogram, two ovals, two white rectangles, one blue rectangle, and eight curve-style lines with arrowheads.
