Displayed elements can be highlighted (flashed) by using the HIGHLIGHT command. The elements concerned may be Design elements (from significant element downwards, including implied Tubing and Rodding) or Draft annotation elements (that means, Layers, Dimensions, Labels, 2D Drafting primitives). Overlay (OLAY) elements may also be highlighted. For example:
|
HIGHLIGHT |
Highlight current annotation element in all area views in which it appears |
|||
|
HIGHLIGHT IN /VIEW1-1 |
Highlight current element (design or notation) in named VIEW |
|||
|
HIG IN ID VIEW @ |
Highlight current element in cursor-identified VIEW |
|||
|
HIG /1501B IN ID VIEW @ |
Highlight named design element in cursor-identified VIEW |
|||
|
HIG IARRIVE TUBE OF /VALVE1 IN /VIEW4 |
Example commands for highlighting implied tubing |

HIG IN _f1_v1 |

HIG /1501B |
Highlight named Design element in all area views in which it appears |
|||
|
HIG /1501B IN _f1_v1 |
Highlight named element in named area view only |

Elements may also be highlighted simply by passing the cursor over them in the display with the left-hand button held down.
Note: For the permanent highlighting of 2D Drafting primitives, see the ENHANCE command in Enhancing Drafting Primitives.
