Description

The Std ShowSelection command shows selected objects in 3D views.

Usage

  1. Select one or more objects.
    • Invisible objects can be selected in the Tree view.
    • Be careful when you use Ctrl+A to select all objects in the Tree view. This will also selects sub-elements of PartDesign bodies and objects used for Part Booleans. In most cases these should stay invisible.
    • Objects used for Part Booleans are also selected when you use Ctrl+A in a 3D view.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Select the View → Visibility → Show selection option from the menu.
    • Select the Show selection option from the Tree view context menu. This option is not available in the PartDesign Workbench.
