Focus on the Selected Element

Focus on the Selected Element allows you to select a design component (or multiple components) in the map and then find its CU in the Project pane.

As your design grows and gains complexity, sometimes it is difficult to scan through the list of CUs in the Project pane to find the one you want. If you can find it on the map quicker, it is easier to select it, then click the Focus on the Selected Element tool.

In short, much like you can hover over an item in the Project pane and click the Pan and Zoom to tool to see it on the map, this provides navigation the “other way,” by selecting the component in the map, then focusing on it in the Project pane.

To use this tool:

1. Select a component in the map.

2. Click the Focus on the Selected Element tool.

3. Notice the Project pane adjusts to show the selected component. The Project pane scrolls up or down and also expands collapsed layers in order to make the selected component visible in the pane.

   TIP: Each time you click the Focus on the Selected Element tool on various components, the Project pane continues to adjust and expand to make selected components visible. If you would like the Project pane to collapse everything except the group that contains the selected component, press Ctrl while clicking the tool. This “cleans up” the Project pane and only expands the group that contains the selected component.
