Selecting objects in Flexi

[brycesteiner]

I've created plenty of things in Flexi but I'm at a loss on how to select objects in Flexi that are behind other things such as a contour cut. In Indesign, Illustrator etc., I hold down control (or command) and click until I get the object I'm looking for. Is there any kind of equivalent in Flexi? I've searched the help and I find it nearly useless for most things.
Thanks!

Look for the "Select" option under the Edit tab,.....jp

There's a couple of ways to select object that live behind other objects.

One is to select the desired object in the Design Editor dialog, that would be the one with the list of all of the objects. Once you've selected the name in the list then click on the marquee of the actual object in the desktop and from then it's yours to command. The downside is that you have to know which object you want from a list of monotonically named items.

Another is by creative use of the object selection marquee. Make sure that Edit->Preferences->Tools->Select Tool->Drag Select is set to 'By Fully Enclosing'. The start at a spot completely outside of ever object and drag the selection marquee such that the only object completely surrounded by the marquee is the one you want. Sometimes you end up picking up and object or two that you don't want. Just deselect them by ctl-left click on their respective marquees.

you can hold ctrl and click a few times quickly to select it. I usually just separate the contour
