Excluding objects from selection

An object can be excluded when selecting it in the sheet view (it can still be selected in tree view). This can be useful when selecting objects on top of overlays, background images, or other overlapping objects. It can also be useful if you want to “lock” an object that you do not want to risk moving or modifying them by mistake.

To ignore presence when selecting

1	Select the object to ignore.

2	Select Format > Exclude from selection.
