Selection Sets

You can select multiple entities in a model or drawing and save the selections as a selection set that you can return to at any time.

When you create a selection set, it is saved in the Selection Sets folder in the FeatureManager design tree.

Automatic display of the Selection Sets folder is enabled in Tools > Options > System Options > FeatureManager under Hide/show tree items.

Contents

Creating Selection Sets

Your options for saving a selection set depend on whether you are working in a part or an assembly.
Removing Selections and Selection Sets

You can remove individual selections from selection sets or remove an entire selection set from the Selection Sets folder.
