You can specify the properties that apply when selecting actors in both default and assembly selection modes.
| Command Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Show hidden edges |

Specifies the amount of selection shading. |
| Default | Specifies the selection color in default mode. |

| Command Name | Description |

PMI Cross-highlight
Specify selection and highlight properties for product manufacturing information (PMI) cross-highlight.
You can select or highlight PMI both from the assembly tree and from the viewport.
Notes:
- This feature is available in Composer Player Pro only.
- Selecting or highlighting PMI now selects or highlights construction geometry as well as its connected geometry (given that the entire geometry is in the same part or product). In this case, all linked geometry appears as selected, even geometry which is currently hidden (no-show).
- Ensure that you do not move PMI, as this may adversely affect the cross-highlight mechanism.
| Command Name | Description |

| Selection intensity | Specifies the color intensity of the attached surface, from 0 (transparent) to 128 (translucent). |
| Selection color | Specifies the color of the surface attached to selected PMI. |
