Layout selection – it is necessary to select appropriate layouts in the process of structure definition. The layouts are accessible by clicking on the list box in the top right corner of the main window, which opens the layout list shown in the figure below:
Selection: - Using the mouse – Window selection or rubber-band window selection: If the selection with cursor draging is performed from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, only the bars (objects) that fall entirely within the defined rectangle (selection window) will be selected.
