Create > Line Select allows you to line-select elements by clicking-dragging the left mouse button. The line-selection selects or unselects a group of entities that the drawn line intersects.

 

 

Select versus Reverse Select

 

By default, the selection mode is REVERSE SELECT, that is, entities picked will be selected if they are currently unselected and will be unselected if they are currently selected.  However, the selection mode will be SELECT if CTRL is pressed while selecting, that is, entities picked will always be selected.
