Using the Mouse as an Auto Pick Filter

Invoked By<SHIFT> + Middle Mouse Wheel

 

VX supports the middle mouse wheel as a pick filter while the <SHIFT> key is pressed (i.e., Auto Pick Filter).  When the mouse is not on an entity, nothing happens.  When the mouse cursor is highlighting an entity for selection, you can use the wheel to scroll through the various entities that may be pickable at the current mouse location.  For example, if you put the mouse on an edge, rolling the wheel with the shift key depressed will jump from edge, to face, to shell, to feature, and back to edge

 

You can still use the mouse in conjunction with Dynamic View to pan, zoom and rotate. Using the middle mouse wheel (without <SHIFT> to zoom provides additional flexibility when working with large or complex parts, drawings or CAM plans.
