To remove the shape protection, right-click on the mouse, select Shape Properties&amp;gt; Protection and edit your preference. To save the changes select "OK"&lt;a class="if-quote-goto quote-link" href="#" data-id="144"&gt;&lt;span class="goto"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[/quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for the answer.&lt;br/&gt;The problem I have is that it is no longer possible to select a shape once the "select" protection is activated, so right-clicking with the mouse is impossible (only page properties appears in the contextual menu).</description><pubDate>Tue, 10 Aug 2021 03:09:03 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jean-Nicolas Bays</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: How unprotect a previously protected shape</title><link>https://www.mydraw.com/Forum/post/144</link><description>&lt;blockquote data-id="143" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1628586636395" contenteditable="false" id="if_insertedNode_1628586635212"&gt;&lt;a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="143" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;+&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="143" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"&gt;&lt;a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="143" title=" "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[b]&lt;/span&gt;Jean-Nicolas Bays - 8/9/2021&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[/b]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-143"&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message-margin" contenteditable="true"&gt;Hello,&lt;br/&gt;This may be a trivial question, but how do you select a shape that you have protected from selection?&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for the help.&lt;a class="if-quote-goto quote-link" href="#" data-id="143"&gt;&lt;span class="goto"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[/quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hello,&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for your comment and interest in our diagramming software.
