The objects that can be selected include:

  • the edges

Right Mouse Button and Selection

In selection mode (selecttool), the left mouse button is used for selecting and moving objects, but when another mouse mode is active (pointedge, addcontrolpoints, blocking), then select/move functionality transfers from the left mouse button to the right mouse button. This lets you work with a tool without having to switch back to the selection tool to make position or property adjustments.
