Using the Pick Form

Click Individually Click on the entity (element or component) that you wish to pick. Clicking on the an entity multiple times will toggle the pick state depending on the "Toggle"-"Add"-"Remove" settings. See Toolbar.

Tip: Using "Show Labels" will give you a target to click when picking entities. See Show Labels.
Using a Bounding Box Hold the [Shift+Alt] keys and left-click to draw a box around the elements/components.
Type IDs and ID Ranges Enter ID numbers directly in the component/element list box. You can specify a sequential list of numbers by using the colon (:). In the example below, components 1 through 3, 11 through 13, and 21 through 23 are selected. Press [Enter] to apply the changes.

Important: The Review button must be active to enter the IDs.
Using Display Sets Available in assembly, display set, and linking group pick modes. Click Add Set on the toolbar. Select one or many display sets. Click OK.

Undo Undo the previous selection.
Redo Redo the previous selection.
ApplyFinalizes the creation of the model entity and close the current pick form. If the "Create Another" option is active, another pick form will open to continue to create new model entities.
Cancel Exits the pick form without applying the changes defined on the current pick form.
Add Set Adds components from display sets.
Toggle, Add, and Remove These buttons are paired together. If "Add" is enabled, selecting an entity will add it to the pick list - even if the entity has already been selected. If "Remove" is enabled, selecting an entity will always remove it from the pick list. Finally, if "Toggle" is enabled, selecting an unselected entity will add it to the pick list, and selecting an already-selected entity will remove it from the pick list.
Icons Displays the selected entities with icons on the elements. This approach works well for close-up views, but is slow for large models.
Preview Displays your selection before going into effect. However, it can also be slow for large models.
(Numbers Icon) Displays element IDs on the model (only valid when creating/modifying components).
