The application includes a number of ways to highlight shapes in the drawing. Some examples of these are the right-click menu in the Schematic and System Explorers, the Find in Drawing group on the Tools Tab, during automatic dimensioning/spec search .
In the case that the application will not automatically reset the highlight, it can be reset by using the Reset Highlight function. This is available in the Quick Access Toolbar. In addition to this, the F7 key on the keyboard can be used.
The highlight colour and line width can be configured by changing some default settings in Diagrams Options (refer to section Defaults Tab):
|
Default Setting |
Value |
Description |
|
Highlight color |
Color |
Color to be used when highlighting. |
|
Line width multiplier |
Multiplier factor |
The multiplier to be applied to the line width when highlighting. This is only relevant when 'Enable auto line width' is False. |
|
Enable auto line width |
True / False |
Automatically adjust the line width to the current zoom level when highlighting is done. |
|
Auto line width |
Line width |
The line width in approx points to be applied when 'Enable auto line width' is True. |
|
Apply auto line width on zoom operation |
True / False |
Automatically adjust the line width when the zoom level is changed. This can be set to False if the performance of the zoom operation degrades on large drawings. |
|
Keep highlight after dimensioning operation. |
True / False |
If True, the changed component will be kept highlighted after resize/refit operations. |
|
Highlight after selection of entity in schematic explorer |
True / False |
By default this option will be set to False. If True, the selected element is highlighted in the drawing canvas if the respective diagram is open. If the drawing is not open or the selected element is not part of the open drawing nothing will happen when you select an element in the schematic explorer. A previously highlighted element will be reset after selecting another element in the schematic explorer. To reset the highlighted element in the canvas you need to select another shape, or if there is one already selected, just click anywhere in the canvas to reset the highlighted shape. |
