Lasso and Marquee

Choose between the Lasso and the Marquee modes to change the selection style of the Transform tool.

Click and hold [Alt] to temporarily switch from the current selected mode to the other.

To invert a selection:

From the top menu, select Edit > Invert Selection, or press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [I] (Windows) or [⌘] + [Shift] + [I] (Mac OS X).

You may also find the Invert Selection option from the Camera View or Drawing View menu by selecting Edit > Invert Selection.

Peg Selection Mode

Click the Peg Selection Mode button to limit the selection in the Camera view to pegs. When disabled, the Transform tool selects the drawing layers.

This mode can be useful when you have created your character rig using peg layers for each drawing. That way, you don't accidentally select the drawing layer, when you want to animate on the peg.

Snap Option

When transforming or repositioning your layer using the Transform tool, you can enable different snap options to help you.

Snap and Align: Snaps the selected layer to any existing line, while automatically displaying temporary rulers that guide you and that you can also snap your object to.
Snap to Grid: Snaps your selection according to the currently enabled grid.

Hide Manipulator Controls

Enable the Hide Manipulator Controls option to hide the bounding box and manipulator controls from the Camera view when an element is selected.

Refer to following topics to learn more about the Snapping option utilities and the Grid feature:
