Selecting Objects by Variable

You can select an object based on a variable that affects it. If your design includes variables, you do so as follows:

  1. Click Edit > Select Objects > By Variable.

    2. This displays the Select by Variable dialog, which lists the variables in your design. Both columns are sortable by clicking the header. You can resize and move the dialog box. When you next open it, it uses that size and location.

  2. Select the variable of interest, and click OK.

    3. The dialog closes, and the object affected by the variable is highlighted in the Modeler window.

The Message window contains a reference that you can select and use to go to the affected object.

If you execute the command again, without clearing the current selection(s), the additional object can be highlighted. You can resize and move the dialog box. When you next open it, it uses that size and location.
