To Use the Sketcher Selection Filter
1. Create a new sketch or open an existing one.
2. To select specific object types, select the required filter from the selection filter on the status bar. By default, the selection filter is set to All.
◦ All—All the sketcher objects including dimensions, references, constraints and geometric entities are selected.
◦ Geometry—Only those sketcher geometric entities in the current sketching environment are selected.
◦ Dimension—Weak or strong dimensions or reference dimensions are selected.
◦ Constraint—Constraints existing in the current sketching environment are selected.
3. For multiple selection, draw a selection box to specify the area on the sketch that is to be filtered for specific object types or click on the objects to select them individually. Only those entities that are available for selection are highlighted when you pass the mouse pointer over them. Objects of the selected filter type are highlighted in red.

 The options available under the selection filter change with the operation that you perform on the sketch. For example, if you modify your sketch using the Modify command, the selection filter has only three options: All, Geometry, and Dimension. Constraint is not available as you cannot modify the constraints that have been set on the sketch. |
