The Edit menu is one of the standard menus and is available in all of the modules. The commands in the Edit menu are used to select objects, delete objects, and set basic object and material attributes. The Edit menu contains the following commands:
- Delete
- Delete the object currently selected in the Graphics Window.
- Select All
- Selects all items associated with the current selection tool.
- Unselect All
- Unselects all items associated with the current selection tool.
- Invert Selection
- Selects the items that were not initially selected and are associated with the current selection tool.
- Select With Poly
- Used to enter a polygon enclosing the items to be selected (one of the selection tools must be active). This option is useful when selecting a large irregularly shaped group of objects. To enter the polygon, click on the polygon's starting point and each intermediate point defining the polygon and double-click on the ending point. All items within the polygon will be selected.
- Select With Polyline
- Selects the items that intersect a polyline associated with the current selection tool.
- Select From List
- Some of the objects in GMS (TINs, solids, cross sections, and scatter point sets) are selected by selecting an icon that appears on the object when the selection tool for the object is active. With a large number of objects, the display of the icons can become complicated and it may be difficult to select the desired object. In such cases, this command can be used as an alternative method for selecting such objects. It brings up a list of the objects currently in memory. An object is selected by checking the box next to it in the list and then hitting the OK button.
- Locate Selections
