Hi,
there is a setting where if I select a component in the graphic area, the same component is highlighted in the Assembly Navigator ?

Thank you...

Hi, I'm sorry, my topic is formuled bad.
How can I edit my post ?
How can I add the quote of an user ?

My real question is :
There is a setting where if I select a sub-assembly component in the graphic area, the same component is highlighted in the Assembly Navigator with expanding the three ?

Thank you...  

RE: Select component in graphic area

OK, with the Assembly Navigator pinned open, place your cursor over some 'white space', press MB3, select 'Find Selected Components' (about a 1/3 of the way down the list of items), when the dialog comes up select the Component of interest using your cursor in the graphics area and immediately the 'tree' will expand to show where the selected Component is located.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Hi John,
this is what I'm doing.
The answer to my question is no.

Anyway..thank you..

RE: Select component in graphic area

How is what I described NOT doing what you want?

But if you want an easier option, try adding the 'Find in Navigtor' icon to your 'Selection-bar' and then all that you need to do is select a Component in the graphics area, and then pick this icon.  I can't see how we could make it any easier.

I have also added the "Find in Navigator" Selection Bar icon to the Radial Pop-up menu for Select - Shift + Ctrl + MB3 (or other) quick access.

I've tried your solution and it's more easier.

Thank you...
