Tip

If you have drawn more than one object you may want to move from one to the other without clicking. This is particularly useful if you have drawn objects layered on one another. You can move from one drawn object to another by pressing N and P on your keyboard. Press N once to move you to the next drawn object on the map. Press P once to move to the previously drawn object.
