Adding 3D Information in Ultiboard
Advanced Selection in Ultiboard
This post is part of a series on what's new in Circuit Design Suite 12.0
Some time ago I wrote about some advanced selection techniques in Ultiboard, and in particular the right click+drag selection options. I mentioned at the time how a long time user had learned of some new functionality, but I didn't mention why we were discussing it. The reason is because I was adding a new item to the right click+drag selection options.
Previously, the right click+drag extended selection options allowed you to only select objects if they were on a particular layer. Some objects, such as vias and parts, are on more than one layer, and it was not possible to use these extended selection options for these types of objects. This new option allows you to pick precisely which items in the selection area you want to selected. With the new Select specified objects... option, the rectangle narrows down the possible choices so you can pick from a reduced set.
As before, right click+drag to select the area where the object(s) you want to select are located.
Click the last item in the menu, and the Select Object(s) dialog appears
Each object in or crossing the rectangle is listed in the dialog with a short description of the object, and you can pick the object(s) of interest. They are even categorized by the object type, so if you change the Type, you get a further filtered list of objects to choose from.
