Using SoftBench Graph Windows

Understanding Nodes and Arcs

	When you select multiple objects, the tool applies the chosen popup menu
	action to all of them. The tools provide several ways to select more than
	one object. The reasons for selection determine the method you choose to
	use. For example, you may want to remove all nodes in a certain area of
	the graph. Figure A-3 shows the selection of two nodes within a Static
	Graph.
