Specifies whether a shape can be selected.

For LockSelect to take effect, the ProtectShapes element (contained in the DocumentSettings element) must be set to 1 (protect shapes).

Syntax

<LockSelect
    [Unit]
    [F]
    [Err]>
</LockSelect>

Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.
