Selecting entities
Hello people of CC3!
I am very new to CC3. Been doing tons of tutorials, read a fair bit of the Essentials and I am currently working my way through the Tome of Ultimate Mapping.. It is fun, but hard (especially for one such as me - I am really not a technical kind of guy! This is the first software I have really sank my teeth into)..
I have tried to look up most of the things I have run into and that has worked fine so far but I still have some questions..
One (probably quite simple) thing that still baffles me is selecting entities.. When I try to select an entity (say to erase) I click it but the entity count doesn't go up.. It only goes up if I click on the borders of the entity..
Am I missing something here? Is there an easier/faster way to select stuff? Why doesn't it register my selection when I click in the middle of the object? Does it have to do with the entities being vectors?
And when I try to select stuff, it doesn't matter which sheet and/or layer is active right? I know about the info/bluescreen thing..
Thanks!
Mike

In the tutorial I have to select text to use "numeric edit" on it..
When I click Numeric Edit, I get asked to select an entity.. But no matter where I click any of the text labels, nothing happens..
I even hid all the other sheets, so the only thing I could select was the text, but no dice..
Quite confusing!
S: sheets; color select; P: pen width; W: line width; L: layers
And welcome to CC3 and the ProFantasy forums.

Yeah, I'd already checked the layers for a frozen text layer. That wasn't it.
But the BASE of the text did it! Finally got it selected.. Back to the tutorial!
