A bounding box appears around a selected object, and an "X" appears at its center.
You can select a single object from a group.
Usually, you select objects by using the Pick tool. By default, all objects are treated as filled so that you can select any unfilled object by clicking on its outline or the area surrounded by the outline. However, you can change this default behavior so that you can select unfilled objects only by clicking on their outlines. Changing the default behavior is useful when you work with line drawings and often need to select objects that appear beneath other objects.
