I am trying to create an object (a casette tape). Attached preview. I try to select the inner circles (concentric) to duplicate but when I try to select by dragging a box on the circle, the selection box selects the outer rectangle and not the selection boundary.
It seems that selection tool is locked on the rectangle (casette tape boundary). What am I missing?

Hold alt-key down and paint select: every stroke the red line touches will be selected:
oh snap! very helpful advice.
