Current Element

The database has a concept of current element. This is often referred to as the Current Element (CE). The current element is highlighted in the explorer. In the 3D view the current element is shown in a different color.

Many Programmable Macro Language (PML) commands work on the current element.

The current element can be changed in the following ways:

• By picking an element in the explorer

• By picking an element in the 3D view

• By typing an element name into the name box

• By typing a navigation command at the command line
