HFSS15: Select Objects in the History Tree

Selecting objects in the History tree also selects them in the View window. This can be useful for complex objects, when it may be easier to find the objects of interest by name or material, if the object of interest is inside or behind others.

You can use CTLR-click to make multiple selections. You can select a range of objects by a click on the first, and then SHIFT-Click to select all in the range. You can also use click and drag the mouse to make rubber band selections. Only visible objects are selected. That is, if the hierarchy is closed under the selection, any operand parts are ignored and do not interfere with cut and paste operations.

You can also right click on any History tree object or grouping and right click to display a shortcut menu with a Select All command. This lets you select at one time all solids, sheets, lines, non-model objects, or all unclassified objects.
