Chapter 3. Using the Selection Tools > Working with Selections
3.2. Working with Selections
After you have an understanding about the basics of selections, you'll probably be eager to try out some techniques. In this section, you see the basics: Make a selection, work with anchor points and the marquee, make multiple selections, and of course, save your work.
NOTE
Smart guides, turned on by default in Illustrator CS5, can help you make accurate selections. These guides are visible as you're drawing, they display names such as anchor point and path, and they highlight paths when you're lined up with endpoints or center points. You can come to love these helpful aids, but if you don't want to see them, simply choose ViewSmart Guides or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+U (Windows) or
+U (Mac) to toggle the smart guides off and on.
