IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

Menu: EditSelect

Shortcut: F2

When the 392 is in the pressed position, you can select a group of objects by clicking on one object at a time. Every time you click on an object it changes color and becomes part of the "selected" group. By default, an object turns blue when it is selected, but you can pick another color by clicking ViewInterface PropertiesColors. Another method of selecting objects one at a time is to hold the left mouse button down continuously and use the mouse pointer to touch every object that you want to select.

Clicking on an object that has already been selected has the effect of de-selecting it.

Amos provides several methods for manipulating a group of selected objects all at once. For example, you can move all of the selected objects at the same time. You can also change the size or shape of all the selected objects, or make a copy of the selected objects in one step. In order to operate on an entire group of objects, you first have to select the objects. Then carry out the operation.

The following operations can be applied to a group of selected objects.

394 Change the shape of objects

396 Duplicate objects

398 Move objects

400 Move parameters

402 Touch up a variable

The following operations are only meaningful after selecting a group of objects in advance.

404 Space objects horizontally

406 Space objects vertically
