Focusing on Selected Objects

This command enables you to focus on objects simultaneously in the 3D and in the product structure.

  1. Select an object in the 3D, right-click, and select Focus On .
    The command reframes and focuses on the object in the 2D. You can multiselect objects, in which case a selection navigator will appear at the top of the 2D viewer that enables you to navigate from one selected object to another. It reframes the 2D based on the selected object.

Notes: The Focus On command works across all instances of the product structure.
  • You can select objects in one application instance and navigate with focus in other application instances where they also appear.
  • Because selection sets can be different across application instances, each application instance has independent navigation controls.
  • While the command is active, the software does not broadcast selection changes.
