Viewing and Selecting Objects in an Inset
You can select any object that appears in the inset image directly inside the inset image. Use the same selection methods you use in the figure window.
Some types of objects in the inset focus are not visible in the inset image. Therefore, you cannot select them in the inset image.
The table below shows which types of objects are visible and selectable in an inset image, and which are not.
Visible and Selectable
Not Visible or Selectable
Parts and part geometry, such as faces and edges
