When creating an MD file, you regularly need to select solid components to modify them, set relationships and attributes. Select solids in these ways:
- Select solids by name in the Part View, in the Solids or Machine areas.
- Select solids from the graphics window:
- Hold the spacebar key and select a face to select the whole solid.
- Right-click a face and select Select Solid from the context menu.
Tip: Select solids in the graphics window before opening the Machine Design dialog, and they will be automatically selected in the dialog when you open it.
