Selecting Multiple Elements in the Browser

You can select multiple elements in the browser to manipulate items within your model for version control purposes. Version control functionality is available through the Version Control add-in or through ClearCase. Selecting multiple elements in the browser allows you to check in or check out more than one file at a time using a version control system. When multiple icons are selected, only the browser options are available on the shortcut menu.

Note: Add-ins have the ability to modify shortcut menus.

To select multiple items in any order:

1 Select an item in the browser.

2 Hold down the CTRL key.

3 Click each item in the browser that you want to select.

Note: To deselect an item, press the CTRL key and click the item.

To select sequential items:

1 Select an item in the browser.

2 Hold down the SHIFT key.

3 Select another item in the browser. Notice that the browser selects every item between the two items that you selected.
