Displaying highlighting

When you select entities to modify, the program can highlight them using a dashed line pattern or a glow effect. This highlight disappears when you finish modifying the entities or when the entities are cleared.

Sometimes highlighting entities can take a considerable amount of time, and you may want to improve overall program performance by turning highlighting off.

To turn highlighting on and off

   1   Do one of the following to choose Drawing Settings ():

•    Select Drawing Settings from the ribbon or the menu.

•    On the Tools toolbar, click the Drawing Settings tool.

•    Type highlight, press Enter, and then in the prompt box, choose On or Off.

   2   Click the Display tab.

   3   Click the secondary Display tab.

   4   Choose from the following options:

•    Highlight selected entities Displays selected entities highlighted in a dashed line. When unchecked, selected entities remain unchanged.

•    Selection effect Displays selected entities with a glowing highlight instead of a dashed line. This option only applies if Highlight Selected Entities is turned on. The glowing highlight effect applies only when the graphics device is set to OpenGL ES.
