Diagrams : Working with Diagrams : Highlighting
Highlighting
The application includes a number of ways to highlight shapes in the drawing. Some examples of these are the right-click menu in the Schematic and System Explorers, the Find in Drawing group on the Tools Tab, during automatic dimensioning/spec search etc.
In the case that the application will not automatically reset the highlight, it can be reset by using the Reset Highlight function. This is available in the Quick Access Toolbar. In addition to this, the F7 key on the keyboard can be used.
The highlight colour and linewidth can be configured by changing some default settings in Diagrams Options (refer to section Defaults):
