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.
