Selecting/Manipulating a Locked Object

If you click on an object and the program says the object is locked then you need to select it in one of three ways.

1. VERSION 4.0 ONLY: Press CTRL+SHIFT when you click it and it will select it despite being locked
2. Select it entirely using Rubber Band Selection which is when you click and hold the mouse and drag a selection ENTIRELY AROUND IT.



3. Click the SELECT tab over the object library and then check the checkbox next to its name to select it (note: if you have a hard time finding it by name you should use the aliases feature to make it more distinct once you've found it).
