If Tools > Shift-key Selection is checked, you must hold down the Shift-key to make multiple selections.

By default, selected entities are added to the list, however if the Ctrl-key is held down, selected entities will be removed from the list.

While holding down the Shift-key or Ctrl-key, you can drag open a crossing window.

Use of this toolbar is detailed in Build A List of Vertices for Editing

Pressing the space-bar automatically activates the last edit function that was used.

Holding the Alt-key when you right-click automatically repeats the last edit function that was used.

 

Once you have selected the desired entities, you can either pick any of the edit buttons:

right click for a list of options.

 

 

Once you have completed any edit operation you have one chance to undo the modifications by selecting

Notes:

 

The location of all points along construction lines can be viewed by setting the View > Render > Cline dot radius parameter.

Before using this trace smoothing function, construction lines should be cleaned up using the CAD > Pack and Renumber Clines function.
