Selects the object to edit. All objects in the Hangers and Supports task have properties that you can edit. Using the Select command on the vertical toolbar, select the object that you want to edit.
An important part of the Select command is the Locate Filter list that appears on the ribbon. The Locate Filter list contains the available, pre-defined filters for the Select command. When you select a filter in the Locate Filter list, the software allows you to select only the filtered objects in a graphic view and in the Workspace Explorer. For example, if you select Support, you can select only supports in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer.
The Hangers and Supports task includes these filters:

When you select multiple supports, the software highlights the first selected support in cyan. You can easily see which support is the origin of the spacing as you space multiple supports along a feature.
