Fly-by highlighting

Now, to make selection easy, Creo Elements/Direct Annotation highlights elements as the cursor passes over them. The highlighted elements depend on the select focus (you can change the focus on the Status Bar just below the viewport) or the active command:

Status	Select focus or mode	Flyby highlights	Example
No active command	Select mode = All	All geometry elements, dimensions, and views (but you must pass over the border of a view to highlight the view's boundary box).	The dimension is highlighted.
No active command	Select mode = Dimensions	Dimensions	As above
No active command	Select mode = View	The view's boundary box when the cursor passes over any element in the view.
Active command	Select focus = Select Highlight color = orange	Elements valid for the active command. For example, if you are creating a radius dimension, Creo Elements/Direct Annotation will highlight circular elements.	The arc on the right is highlighted.
Active command	Select focus = Handle Highlight color = magenta	Elements that can have handles. Creo Elements/Direct Annotation will highlight a dimension in magenta; click it and a handle appears.	Highlighted dim. Click displays handle.
Active command	Select focus = Drag Highlight color = yellow	Elements that can be moved, such as text. In this example, Creo Elements/Direct Annotation highlights a text block.	The text is highlighted.
