Selecting Objects with the Marquee Tool

---

Use the Marquee tool to select objects and structures within a rectangular area.

To select objects using the Marquee tool:

1. Select the Marquee tool .

The pointer becomes a Marquee.

2. Drag diagonally across the chemical structures or other objects.

As you drag, a rectangle appears which defines the Selection area. Bonds and other objects are selected only if they are entirely within the rectangle.

You can use the Marquee to select several objects at once if they can be surrounded by a rectangle.
