Selection Feedback

Selected elements are highlighted so that they stand out from all the other elements in the graphics display.

A Locator Handle appears when a Graphical Selection is present. This can be used to manipulate the position and orientation of the entire Graphical Selection.

Modifiable and non-modifiable elements

Elements that can be moved or rotated by you are highlighted with a green wireframe highlight when you click on them in Model Editor mode. If you do not have permission to move or rotate an element, it is highlighted in a red wireframe.

It is not always possible to determine whether a move or rotation operation can be carried out when items are selected. It is possible that a move or rotation operation could be rejected if PDMS Data Access Control determines that the current user is not permitted carry out the operation.
