All objects in the Molded Forms task have properties that you can edit. Using the Select command on the vertical toolbar, you select the object that you want to edit or work with.

An important part of the Select command is the Locate Filter box on the ribbon. The Locate Filter box contains pre-defined filters for the Select command. When you choose a filter in the Locate Filter box, the software allows you to select only the filtered objects in a graphic view and in the Workspace Explorer. For example, if you select Seams, you can select only design, intersection, planning, or a seam point in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer.

The Molded Forms task includes these filters:

Bracket Plate Systems

Limits your selection to bracket plate systems.

Plate Systems display at the same level in the hierarchy as Bracket Plate Systems. If you filter on Plate Systems, the software also displays Bracket Plate Systems as shown in the following figure. This happens because the leaf system of a bracket plate system is a plate system object. The bracket plate system is included in the workspace because it is the parent of the leaf plate system.
