Selection preview and element info

When you point to an element but do not click, the entire element is displayed in the selection preview color in plan, elevation and perspective view. The default setting is orange. Selection preview is particularly useful for complex drawings, as you can see whether you have found the right element even before you select it.

Element info provides additional support: In addition to selection preview, the element name and layer (default setting) are displayed with the crosshairs.

Pressing the TAB key displays additional information on 2D and 3D elements.

Note: You can set the color, type and scope of Selection preview and Element info in the Options on the Selection page.
