Use Point Select 
to select a block of stitches within an area of any shape made of straight and curved lines. Click Point Select 
and the pointer changes to the Point select pointer 
. Click a series of points to create an irregular outline of straight and curved lines around the desired area, using Ctrl+click to place a square (straight line) point. Click and drag 
to reposition an existing point. Click Delete to remove the last–placed point. Right-click when the area is complete. The block will show you the extent of your selection. Only stitches that are on grid points that are completely enclosed by the selection line will be selected. Point Select may be easier to use than Freehand Select for precise selections. Right-click to deselect.
The block can be moved, mirrored horizontally and vertically and rotated in 90 degree steps. The block can be copied or cut to the clipboard and then pasted to the same or another cross stitch design. The block can also be deleted.
If the wrong area is selected, click in the design area, but outside the box, to deselect.
Point Select is not available to make new selections when the Multiply function is active.
