Select Pane

The Select pane lets you select parts and assemblies based on their hierarchy level in the assembly tree.

To display this pane, in the Assembly or Collaboration pane toolbar, click Select Actors . This tool is useful to select assemblies and subassemblies at the same time, or to help generate BOM IDs on groups.

Note: Because the Select pane is a pane and not a dialog box, you do not have to dismiss it when you are done. You can even dock the pane in the Composer window for future use.
