Select All

The Select All command selects all visible objects in editable layers and classes. The active layer is always editable, but other layers can be editable if they are visible and if the Layer Options are set to Show/Snap/Modify Others. For more information about setting layer and class visibility and layer and class options, see Setting Visibilities and Setting Class and Design Layer Options.

To select all objects in the drawing area:

Select Edit > Select All.

Alternatively, select Select All from the object context menu.

VectorWorks selects all visible objects that can be modified. Each of these selected objects is displayed with selection handles. Locked objects are also selected so they can be unlocked for modification.
