Selecting drawing objects from a worksheet

Command

Select Data Items

Select Item

Context menu

You can use the database rows in a worksheet to select the objects in the drawing that are related to that row.

To select database objects:

Either all database objects or a single database object can be selected.

To select all database objects that meet the database row criteria, right-click the row number of the database header row to open the context menu.

To select an individual database object, right-click the row number of the sub-row that contains the object to open the context menu.

Select the command.

All database objects that are represented by the header row, or the individual row object, are selected. If an individual object is selected with Select Item, the drawing view changes to display the selected object. The Select Item command is grayed if the sub-row is summarized (see Formatting worksheet cells).
