hold down the CTRL key to allow points to be selected. The default is off for this tool.
Allow Segment Selection – when this button is turned on, then the Detail Selection tool
can select segments. If this button is off, you cannot select segments. The default is on for
this tool.
Note: The Allow Point Selection and the Allow Segments Selection can be turned on at the

Hijack Select All, Cancel and Reverse – when this button is turned on, the Detail
Selection tool uses (Hijacks) the following functions from the Select Menu: Select All
(F2), Select Cancel (F3), and Select Reverse (F4). If Hijack is on while using the Detail

will not shape select for use with the regular shape Selection tool. The default is off for
this tool.
