The object-action operation enables you to select an object on the Model Tree or the model and perform an action on the selected object. You can right-click highlighted simulation entities on the Model Tree or entity icons on the model to display a shortcut menu listing simulation operations that you can perform on the entity.

The list of simulation entities on which you can perform object-action operations includes, but is not limited to, the following:

As you move your cursor over an icon representing any simulation entity that has been set for prehighlighting, the software highlights the icon in red. If your cursor pauses, a display tag appears showing the entity name. If you select a highlighted icon or directly select an entity on the Model Tree, the icon highlights in red on the model and you can right-click to display the shortcut menu to perform operations on the entity.

The object-action operations are always in effect, whether or not prehighlighting is set for a simulation entity.
