AutoVue


Filtering Entity Types

With the Entity Type Filter option, you can display certain entity types while hiding others, without having to hide an entire layer. For example, you might want to turn off all entities and display only the component instances.

You can also limit the types of entities you can select in the workspace.

  1. Select View > Entity Type Filter from the AutoVue menu.
  2. The Entity Type Filter dialog appears.

    Note You can also click the Entity Type Filter icon on the AutoVue toolbar.

  3. Under the Visibility column, select the checkbox beside the entity types you want to display in the workspace.
  4. Clear the checkbox to hide the entity types.

  5. Under the Selection column, select the checkbox beside the entity types that you want to be able to select in the workspace.
  6. Clear the checkbox beside the entity types that you do not want to select.

    Note To select all entity types, select the checkbox in the column header. Clear the checkbox to deselect all entity types.

  7. Click Apply to apply the changes.
  8. Close OK to close the Entity Type Filter dialog.
  9. Only the selected entities types remain displayed in the workspace.

    When you click in the workspace, only the entities types checked in the Entity Type Filter dialog will be highlighted.
