Interaction of Sets With Lists

When in a selection mode the Edit | Save Selection As List menu command saves the current selection set to the Lists module as a list of the appropriate type. The list formed is a simple list made up of item numbers and ranges of numbers; no attempt is made to recognise, for example, patterns in the element properties or groups of selected elements.

Also, when in a selection mode the Edit | Select List menu command allows a list to be appended to the current selection set. The list can be a saved list, referred to by name, or explicitly defined. This latter option is a useful method for showing the location of particular items.

Both Save Selection As List and Select List are also available on the Graphic View right-click menu when in a selection mode.
