You can use Smart Selection instead of QuickPick to select a nested graphical element in a compound symbol or grouped graphical element. The Smart Selection tool provides a faster and more convenient way to make selections of nested elements.
-
Select a compound symbol or grouped graphical element and then do one of the following:
-
Select on the Actions toolbar.
-
Right-click the selected compound symbol or a grouped graphical element and then on the shortcut menu, select Smart Selection.
The Smart Selection tool opens next to the item you right-clicked:
If you select a compound symbol or a grouped element that has a multi-level hierarchy, the Smart Selection tool shows an arrow pointing to the right to indicate an existing lower level hierarchy. You can select this arrow to expand the hierarchy if you need to select that item.
-
-
Move the pointer over a nested item name in the Smart Selection tool to highlight the corresponding nested item in the graphic:
-
Select the required nested item name in the Smart Selection tool to select the nested item.
The software selects the nested item and closes the Smart Selection tool.
-
You can now perform any action with the selected nested item as needed, for example associate it with a plant item or move if you need to adjust its placement in the drawing.
