PRIMER 22.1

Adding Entities by List

Press the List button. The screen changes to:

Selecting ADD or REMOVE

The green ADD button indicates that PARTs will be added to the group. If you want to remove PARTs instead of adding PARTs to the group, then the Add/Remove popup button can be used to change the action. If REMOVE is selected the button will change to red.

Using a box

	In the above example we are adding PARTs to the group. We are not using a box to limit the selection as no box is selected, If instead we wanted to add the elements from PARTs that are in box 1 this can be done by clicking on the no box button. The display will change as shown on the left.
	Until a box is selected the APPLY button will be inactive. You can turn off the box selection again by pressing the in box button. Once a box is selected by either typing in the box number or using the popup menu it will turn blue and the APPLY button will be activated.

Selecting entities to add

To start selecting the entities you want to add by list press the Select PARTS to ADD (eg if entity type is PART ). The screen changes to:

The standard PRIMER object menus appear which allow you to select PARTs. Select the PARTs that you want to add by either selecting them from the list, picking visible parts etc. You can abort adding the entities at any time by pressing ABORT SELECTION . You can sketch the entities that you currently have selected to add by pressing the SKETCH PARTS button.

Saving into the group

Once you have chosen the parts that you want to add using the object menus you can save them into the group by pressing the APPLY PART SELECTION button.

After the selection is saved to the group the screen refreshes back to the main screen (shown above). The feedback button (at the top of the image) changes to show that 2 selections of PARTs by list have been added in this example. Additionally this is shown on the PART entity button. In this way you can easily see what entity types are present in the group.
