When assigning geometric entities to a node and you hover over that entity in the Graphics window, click once to add it to a selection list. See Figure 6-5 for an example. If you select the
Require click in Graphics window to activate hovering check box under
Selections on the
Graphics and Plot Windows page in the
Preferences dialog box, then you must first click once in the Graphics window before you can hover and click to select.
Next to the Settings window’s selection list, there is an
Active button to toggle between turning ON
and OFF
selections; that is, making the selections active for that selection list.
When the button is toggled to OFF, the selection mode is a preselection that is used for a selection that you add to the model from the toolbar, and the selection for the current node in the model tree is highlighted in yellow in the
Graphics window. See
Figure 6-3.
