## Chapter 6. Selecting Objects

## Selection Introduction

Selecting objects is probably the most frequently task when using Dia. From the moment you create a new object to the moment you think the diagram looks the way it should be, you will always have to select objects to set them up properly.

When you select objects, you bring focus to an object to edit. An object which is not selected, cannot be edited.

Selecting objects can be done in many different ways, and there are also many operations can be performed on these selected objects.

You can select objects to simply drag them around the diagram, or to group them in a logical way to manipulate them more easily, to connect them each others, or to simply remove them from the diagram.
