hm_calldisplaypanel while *createmarkpanel operation

Dear Members,

I am trying to mark some elements by the option *createmarkpanel elems 1. But sometimes the elements I wanted to select maybe below a component. If that is the case while manual operation I press the 'D' button and hide that component and select below elements . But since I am in an operation of *createmarkpanel I am not able to call hm_calldisplaypanel operation in between . Is there any way to hide component while *createmarkpanel option.

 

Thanks

Mohammed

    Cannot call panels while *createmarkpanel was there because hm is in function_lock mode

    But you can turn off comps on model browser

    Another way: view elems in wire-frame mode and sweep mouse over elem's centroid (displayed as a dot) => suitable with single selection.

    Or you can sweep mouse over both upper and lower comps and then click elems>by collector to subtract the upper elems.

    @tinh Thanks for the reply.

     

    Then how F5 (Mask) option is working? If I select some elements and then click 'D' and again comeback to Mask I can see the previous selected elements.

     

    Thanks

    Normal panels like F5 do not make 'function_lock' mode, so you can push other panels over.
