Select tool-select fields not selected and unselect fields selected

It would be a huge time saver if you had an option to unselect the fields selected and select the fields not selected in the Select tool.

@TimO You can Select and Deselect All of the fields at once. You can also highlight all of the fields that you want to select or Deselect and change them as well.

Hi Dan,

I am aware of the select options and they do not do what I am looking for.

I need the option to unselect the fields selected and select the fields not selected in the Select tool.

Thanks,

Tim

Hey @TimO

 

So you're looking for an option to just invert the selection?   Select all the ones that are currently not ticked; and at the same time, untick the ones that are selected?

I want to avoid the manual selecting and unselecting. I was hoping that the software could do this for me.
