Viewing and Selecting Hierarchies
There are a number of ways to view a hierarchy structure and select objects
in it.
Viewing a Hierarchy
You can use these methods to view the relationships between parents and
children in a linked hierarchy.
■ The
Select Objects dialog on page 232 appears whenever you use a by-name
selection method, such as choosing Edit menu > Select By > Name, by
clicking Select By Name on the main toolbar, or by pressing the H key.
To list objects hierarchically, turn on Display Subtree on the dialog. This
indents children below their parent.
■ The
Hierarchy list on page 3531 at the left side of the Track View window
on page 3503 displays all objects using indentation to express hierarchy.
Child objects are displayed indented and below their parent. An added
advantage of Track View is that you can control the view by collapsing
and expanding branches of the hierarchy.
