To select all instances of a particular drawing element:

• Choose an element type and click the "Accept Selected Element" button.
• Or just Double click on an element type in the list.

Examples: 

Double click on "Text" to select all text so you can change all the fonts.

Double click on "Walls" so you can change the color or  fill patterns of all walls.

Note:  Drawing elements that are in an invisible layer will not be selected.

If you want to remove an element from the selection:

• Click the Select Element tool button
• Hold the Shift key down and click on a selected element to de-select it.

If you want to keep the current selection and add to it:

• Click the Select Element tool button
• Hold the Shift key down when selecting other elements to add them to the selected list

When all selected elements are of the same type, additional options are available.

For instance:

If all selected elements are walls, you can do things that pertain to walls, like changing the wall thickness or the fill pattern. All selected walls will reflect these changes.

If all the selected elements are text, you can change the font specifications for all the selected text elements.

But, if the selected elements are of different types - i.e. some are walls, some are text - then you are limited to operations that can be performed on any element like moving, copying, etc.
