Cannot select and hence edit the electrical connections and wires

I can select the symbols, edit, move them. But i cannot do the same with the electrical connections, wires etc. Why is it so? I need to edit them. PCB Editor 16.5

It sounds like you don't have those attributes selected. Select your desired attribute in the "Find" filter. Hope this helps

Uh Uh....I tried to select them in "Find" options on the right side of the screen. But most of them are just dead...I cant select them, I cant deselct them. They are not responding and they are deselected, I dont know how. I have control over "symobls", "pins", "drc zerrors" in "Find" option but I cant select "Lines", "shapes" etc...and many other of them. Hence not able to modify or edit them.

It looks like you may be in Placement Mode. If so, try Setup >Application Mode >General Edit Or Etch Edit.
Hope this helps,
