The portion of display sets that use the search criteria Picked Objects can be lost when you edit the definition in a subsequent SmartPlant Review session. The loss also can occur if the display set definition is loaded using the Import Display Set dialog box. The selected elements are lost if you modify the files containing these elements. For this reason, use the Picked Objects search criteria only in temporary display sets.
