Tool summary :

• Clears the current selection list, then lets you rebuild it with those objects you select in the lasso .
• Lasso Selection allows you to make a single selection by left-clicking and dragging to draw a lasso around one or more objects.
• Alternatively, while in Lasso Mode , you can hold down the Shift , left-click ( Select + ), and draw a lasso around objects to accomplish the same. Unlike using Lasso Selection , this selection mode allows you make multiple selections
• To invoke Lasso Selection :

▸ Click the Lasso Selection icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Selection ' ( Drawing Editor ) and placed on the ribbon.

▸ Lasso Selection can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface .
