Identifying Displayed Elements using the Cursor

Model Reference Manual

If a particular type of element is to be located, a selective search can be made using the IDENTIFY command followed by a keyword identifying the element type. If a specific element type is not requested, the element hit will always be a geometric primitive or component. Any displayed line or p-point of an item may be hit. To abort, press the Cancel button on the displayed form.


Examples:
ID @	Pressed Enter (or Return), move the cursor over the desired item and click the left-hand mouse button. The name of the element under the cursor is displayed on the command line. The picked element becomes the current element and is displayed in a different colour. (This is the general response to all variations of the IDENTIFY command.)
ID EQUIP @	As above, but the search is restricted to EQUI elements.
