Note:

• If the Select Graphics tool is disabled, then there are no graphic elements in the active graphics layer. See Setting the target layer of new graphics for information on changing the active graphics layer.
• Two-dimensional graphics that are pasted from ArcMap will have z-values of 0, which may be under the surface of the 3D view. You can use the Size and Position properties page for 2D graphics in ArcGlobe or ArcScene and set the z-values.
