You can use Shift-Click to select multiple items in the View panel. If you select multiple items, the
Information panel displays data only for the first item selected. You can also click and drag the
select tool to select a group of items. You cannot select links using the click-and-drag method.
Layout changes
Click the Overview icon in the View toolbar if it is difficult to view an entire fabric in the View panel.
A small window displays the entire fabric in a miniature (or zoomed out) format (see Figure 55).
This tool includes a blue box that you can drag over the portions of the fabric you want to have
displayed in the larger View panel. This tool helps you pinpoint the portion of a large fabric that you
want to view.
To move nodes, click the Select icon in the toolbar and then drag a node. Fabric Manager stores
the changes that you make to the locations of the nodes.
