Selection Box Zooms the Cellview Instead of Selecting Objects

If you create a selection rectangle and the image in the cellview is enlarged or reduced, you drew the rectangle using the right mouse button instead of the left mouse button. Dragging by using the right mouse button starts Zoom In and Zoom Out commands.

• Creating a rectangle with the right mouse button enlarges the cellview image.
• Creating a rectangle by pressing Shift with the right mouse button reduces the cellview image.

If you inadvertently zoom in or out instead of selecting objects:

1. Choose Previous from the View – Save/Restore – Previous View menu to re-display the cellview as it appeared before you zoomed in or out.
2. Click and drag to create a rectangle to select objects.
