How to Select a Group of Components

If you wish to select a group of components that have similar properties, you can use the Group Selection buttons. These buttons vary depending on the CLASS of the component you are currently editing. The buttons are located below the component selection list. Details of the functions of these buttons are listed by component class below.

There are always eight buttons. Any button marked [---] has no function for the current CLASS.
