To Select Alignment Entities

Select an entire alignment, a single sub-entity, or a range of sub-entities.

When a single sub-entity is selected, the Alignment Layout Parameters dialog box displays the parameters of the selected entity.

If the Alignment Entities vista and Alignment Layout Tools toolbar is open, selecting a sub-entity or range of sub-entities in an alignment causes the selected sub-entities to display in the Alignment Entities vista. Selecting sub-entities or ranges of sub-entities in a different alignment causes that range of selected sub-entities to display in the Alignment Entities vista and have focus of the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar. The last object selected becomes the current object and has focus of the alignment editing tools.
