Allows you to construct a select set from lines and inline components, even if there are breaks in a network. This dialog remains open until you dismiss it, and you can highlight items in the drawing and manipulate members of the select set while the dialog is active. The Select Connected Items command, which appears both on the Edit menu and on the Line Shortcut menu, is available only when a single line segment or a single component is selected.

The Scope List allows you to choose extent, and the Include Runs and Include Components buttons allow you to incorporate different items into the select set. At no time can neither the Include Runs nor Include Components buttons be selected; that is, one or the other or both is always active.
