How do you select all of a curve?

[kalmdown]

In Adobe Illustrator you can select all of the points on a curve by Alt-clicking with the point selection tool. How do you do the same in AD. Need when you build complex objects with Booleans and want to select a part which is difficult to select with marquee without selecting the all of the parts - like the smaller C in the red circled area.

If you have a Curve Layer selected and are using the Node Tool, you can use menu “Select → Select All” to select all of the nodes in that curve.
Or, if you have a Curves (plural, not Curve) Layer, and want to select all of the nodes of a particular curve then you can select one point of a curve with the Node Tool and then use menu “Select → Select All” as above.

To draw a selection around nodes, select the Node Tool and hold the Option Key down while you move the cursor around, it may be a different key on Windows.
