Description
In Creo 11, the new region selection capabilities, Lasso Selection and Trace Selection, have been added, and the existing Box Selection has been enhanced for surfaces in Part and Assembly mode.
The enhancements in the selection method include:
• Box Selection
◦ Selects surfaces enclosed within the selection box.
◦ Flexibility to control the selection of only visible surfaces or surfaces that are hidden by other surfaces within the box.
• Lasso Selection
◦ Selects surfaces enclosed within the defined loop.
◦ Selects only visible surfaces.
• Trace Selection
◦ Selects surfaces that are traced over.
◦ Selects only visible surfaces.
Additionally, the selection methods support object/action workflows, making them available for all surface sets collectors and for the surface collector of the Color Tool. For example, you can use the Trace selection to select Boundary Surfaces in the Seed & Boundary selection rule.
Benefits
• Faster selection of multiple individual references for coloring.
• Easier selection of semantic references for 3D annotation in the Model-Based Definition.
