To Highlight Objects With or Without Rate Items

As you use filtering to sort rate items in a rate item list, use the highlighting commands to visually sort objects and rate items in the drawing.

For example, in a drawing or an area of a drawing where only a few objects have been tagged with rate items, you can easily identify those objects using the Highlight Objects With Rate Items command. In a drawing or an area of a drawing where most objects have been tagged with rate items, you can easily identify those objects without attached rate items using the Highlight Objects Without Rate Items command. Also, by using the Highlight Objects With Selected Rate Items command, you can identify objects tagged with specific rate items.
