Why you would use it

Moving, restyling or deleting everything on a sheet shouldn’t mean dragging a box carefully round it.

For example

What to do

Press Ctrl+A with the drawing in front.
Do what you meant to the whole selection.

Going further

Hidden and locked work is left out, the same rule a dragged box follows, so what’s selected is what you can see: the next move or delete can’t reach marks that aren’t on the screen. Typing in a field keeps its own Ctrl+A.

Keep going

Look It UpSelectClick a measurement to select it, drag it to move it, or drag a corner handle to reshape it. Shift-click adds to the selection. Dragging on empty space draws a selection box: drag it left to right to take only what lies wholly inside, or right to left (a dashed box) to take anything it touches. Hold Shift to add to what’s already selected. Alt-click steps down through marks lying on top of one another, one layer per click. With the drawing focused, Tab and Shift+Tab step through the marks on the sheet in reading order.
