You can also use the Select All Tools button to quickly select specific groups of icons. There are 2 options.
The first option, is to select the entire drawing (excluding tables). This option will help you then save the entire drawing as an image to put in other programs, such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Or you may want to copy this drawing to another powerdraw drawing or template.
The second option is the Select All Tool-string (exclude Casing, etc.) Using this option allows you to work the string as a group.
