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 : Deletes the object currently selected in the Graphics Window.  
|-
; Select All : Selects all items associated with the current selection tool.  
|colspan="2"|
; Unselect All : Unselects all items associated with the current selection tool.
* '''Delete''' 
; 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.  
|width="40"|  ||  Delete the object currently selected in the Graphics Window.
; Select With Polyline : Selects the items that intersect a polyline associated with the current selection tool.  
|-
; Select From List : Brings up a list of objects associated with the current selection tool. An object is selected by checking the box next to it in the list and clicking '''OK'''. This tool only works with [[GMS:Boreholes|boreholes]],[[GMS:Cross Sections|cross sections]], and [[GMS:Solid Module|solids]].
|colspan="2"|
; Select by ID : Brings up a selection dialog where cells or objects in the selected module can be selected by the ID number.
* '''Select All'''
; Select By Dataset Value : [[File:Select By Dataset Value.png|thumb|175 px|The ''Select By Dataset Value'' dialog]] Opens the ''Select By Dataset Value'' dialog that allows selecting nodes or cells based on the dataset values when the current tool corresponds to one which selects nodes or cells and there is a dataset associated with the nodes or cells. Select either the less than or greater than options, or both.
|-
; Locate Selections : Causes a rectangle to be drawn on screen and move to surround the location of the selected items, helping to see where they are. [[File:Selection Information.png|thumb|300 px|The ''Selection Information'' dialog]]
|  ||  Selects all items associated with the current selection tool.
; Selection Window : Brings up the ''Selection Information'' dialog allowing to turn on and off the echo of the information to a file and to a separate, dockable window. When objects are selected, various information about the objects can be displayed or saved. The values are displayed by default in the Status Bar at the bottom of the [[GMS:The GMS Window|GMS main window]]. However, since space along the bottom of the window is limited, there is the option of displaying the information to a separate window and optionally echoing the information into a file.

|  ||  Unselects all items associated with the current selection tool.
; Model Interfaces {{Anchor|Model Interface}} : Brings up the ''Model Interfaces'' dialog containing a list of all available models. Selecting models in this dialog determines which model menus are to be displayed in the menu bar. [[File:Model Interfaces.png|thumb|350 px|The ''Model Interfaces'' dialog]]
|-
; [[GMS:Units|Units]] : Brings up the ''Units'' dialog which allows adjusting the units for the model.  
|colspan="2"|
; Time : Opens the [[GMS:Time Settings|''Time Settings'']] dialog which allows adjusting how date and time units are displayed.
* '''Invert Selection'''
; [[Projections#Single_Point_Reprojection|Single Point Reprojection...]] : Brings up the ''Reproject Single Point'' dialog that allows transforming a point between coordinate systems.  
|-
; [[GMS:Transform|Transform...]] {{Anchor|Transform}}: Brings up the ''Transform'' dialog allowing to scale, rotate and translate the entire project. Individual objects can be transformed by using the same command found in right-click context menus for the item in the Project Explorer.  
|  ||  Selects the items that were not initially selected and are associated with the current selection tool.
; [[GMS:Preferences|Preferences]] {{Anchor|Preferences}}: Brings up the ''Preferences'' dialog where it is possible to adjust the general preferences for GMS.
|-
; Screen Capture... {{Anchor|Screen Capture}}: Copies the [[GMS:The GMS Window|Graphics Window]] as an image to the Windows clipboard. If wanting to copy an image that is larger or smaller than the graphics window, edit the ''Bitmap scale factor'' in the ''Preferences'' dialog. Brings up the ''Copy To Clipboard'' dialog which allows changing the ''Bitmap scale factor''. However, the clipboard has a limited amount of memory available to it; thus, GMS may not be able to scale the image up as much as it could when saving the file to disk. If a screen capture will not paste into another program, try reducing the scale factor.

|-
|  ||  Some of the objects in GMS ([[GMS:TIN Module|TINs]], [[GMS:Solid Module|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.
