Exploring selection and anchor point preferences
To display selection and anchor point preferences, choose Illustrator > Preferen-
ces > Selection & Anchor Display (Mac OS) or Edit > Preferences > Selection &
Anchor Display (Windows). You can change the size of anchor points (called an-
chors in the dialog box) or the display of the direction lines (called handles in the
dialog box).
As you move the pointer over anchor points in your artwork, they are highlighted.
You can also turn off the highlighting of anchor points as the pointer hovers over
them. Highlighting anchor points makes it easier to determine which point you
are about to select. You will learn more about anchor points and anchor point
handles in Lesson 5 , Creating an Illustration with the Drawing Tools .
Creating selections with a marquee
Another way to select content is by dragging a marquee around the objects that you want
to select, which is what you'll do next.
1. Choose View > Fit All In Window.
2. Select the Zoom tool (
) in the Tools panel, and click three times, slowly, on the
red circles.
