Creating Selection Sets

Your options for saving a selection set depend on whether you are working in a part or an assembly.

In a part, Save Selection is available at the top of the context-sensitive shortcut menu, and under Features.

In an assembly, Save Selection is also available under Components.

Where you choose Save Selection determines the display of the saved selections in the FeatureManager design tree:

At the top of the menu
Under Features
Under Components

To create selection sets:

  1. Select items in the model.
  2. Right-click and click Save Selection.

    The Selection Sets folder appears in the FeatureManager design tree, containing the selection set.

    By default, the selection set is named in the following format:

    Selection-Setn(nn)

    where:

    • n indicates the order of creation. This number increments as you add new selection sets.
    • nn indicates the number of items in the selection set.
