extend selections

[NothanUmber]

a rather simple question....

how do I extend a selection of elements? Control + left mouse only adds one element per click and the boundary box is limited to elements that are all in the same region. Is there something like shift + boundary box to add a new selection of elements to an existing one? Whould be very helpful (can't imagine it doesn't exist but I haven't found it yet.    )

Thanks,

Ferdinand

did you try ctrl+click?

yes, that's all I found out. But it would be handy to add a whole bunch of new elements to an existing selection (like e.g. in powerpoint with shift + drag mouse (draw boundary) ).

Hmm, the only way I know is shift drag to get the first bunch and then ctrl+click. Did not have a problem with that so far. Sorry for not having a better answer.
