IDENTIFY
Description
If a particular type of element is to be located, a selective search can be made using the IDENTIFY command followed by a keyword identifying the element type. If a specific element type is not requested, the element hit will always be a geometric primitive or component. Any displayed line or p-point of an item may be hit. To abort, press the Cancel button on the displayed form.

Pressed Enter (or Return), move the cursor over the desired item and click the left-hand mouse button. The name of the element under the cursor is displayed on the command line. The picked element becomes the current element and is displayed in a different colour. (This is the general response to all variations of the IDENTIFY command.) |

ID EQUIP @ |
As above, but the search is restricted to EQUI elements. |
