Editing objects

After adding objects to the map, you can use drag-and-drop and resizing handles to change their position and, in the case of shapes, their size as well.

Before selecting or editing nodes and shapes, make sure the Selection tool is enabled on the Toolbar.

Selecting objects

When a single object is selected, a frame will appear around it.

To select multiple objects, use the rectangle selection tool with your mouse and/or the Shift and Ctrl keys.
Ctrl+A selects all objects on the map.

To deselect one or more objects, hold Ctrl while clicking the objects, or draw a selection rectangle around them.
To deselect all objects, left-click in empty space on the map or press Esc.

To select an unfilled shape, click on its outline. When using Rectangle selection, only those shapes that are completely inside the rectangle will be selected.

You can select a link only when the Links tool is selected on the Toolbar. This allows you to change its properties or delete it.

Basic clipboard operations can be performed from the context menu of one or more selected objects (that is, nodes and shapes): Copy (Ctrl+C), Cut (Ctrl+X), and Paste (Ctrl+V).
Various other context menu items will be displayed depending on the type and number of selected objects.
From here, you can also manage the assets themselves.

Moving and resizing objects

To change the position of an object (a node or a shape), drag it to a new location.
To move multiple objects at the same time, first select them, then drag any of the selected objects to move the entire group.

You can move one or more objects along the map’s grid by holding Ctrl and pressing the arrow keys. Holding Ctrl and Shift simultaneously allows you to move objects in the smallest increments (grid alignment must be disabled).

To resize a shape, first select it so that its frame becomes visible. The frame contains a handle in each corner, as well as in the center of each side. Grab and drag one of these eight handles.
Hold Ctrl to resize the shape in a single dimension.
Holding Shift preserves the shape’s proportions (the proportions may still be affected if grid alignment is enabled).

Press Esc while moving or resizing to cancel the operation and return the objects to their previous position.

You can rotate a shape 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise from its context menu. From the same menu, you can also change a shape’s stacking order relative to overlapping shapes using the Forward and Backward commands, or move one or more shapes directly to the front or back using To Front and To Back.

When multiple shapes are selected, their relative stacking order is preserved.

Deleting objects

To delete a network map object, press Delete or use the object’s context menu.

When attempting to delete multiple objects, you may be prompted to confirm the action. Confirmations can be disabled from Options.

If you delete a map node, its links will also be deleted.

Attention!
Deleting a node from the Network tree also removes all of its corresponding nodes from every network map.
