If you click Preselection Highlighting on the Drawing Tree, and you move the pointer over item nodes on the Drawing Tree, corresponding drawing items appear highlighted with the preselection color in the graphics window. Similarly, if you click Preselection Highlighting on the Model Tree, and move the pointer over the item nodes on the Model Tree, corresponding model items appear highlighted with the preselection color in the graphics window.
If you click Highlight Geometry, geometry corresponding to the item nodes that you select on either the Drawing Tree or the Model Tree appear highlighted with the secondary highlight color in the graphics window.
Drawing objects are highlighted based on the active model focus. That is, either the entire sheet is highlighted if there is no active model view, or only objects within the active model view are highlighted.
| In a drawing, highlighting the selected object is limited by the active model view and the location of the selected item. |
