Select/View Adds objects for the foreground. The dialog box closes temporarily and the program highlights the current selection set in the drawing. |

Find outer contour Ignores holes and islands on the foreground selection. If this is not selected, considers islands within the outermost contour to be holes through which the background is visible. The behavior of the contour finder depends on the type of objects selected for the foreground. If the foreground is a ... |

Normal Foreground Contains only simple curve objects, no blocks. The program can use curve objects directly as contours, and the Contour Finder can use them to determine an appropriate contour. With this option, the Contour Finder cannot define inner contours as islands. Usually, the Contour Finder is not used, and no type is indicated. If you use the Contour Finder, the indicated type is “Outline, no holes possible.” |
||
|
Block Foreground Contains a single block. The program can use the objects in the block directly or with the Contour Finder. The Contour Finder enables you to define points for which the enclosing contour defines islands in the foreground area. |
||
|
Predefined Foreground Contains a standard part (or a user-defined part) with a predefined contour. |
||
|
Programmatically Defined Foreground Contains Power Objects that define their own method for calculating the contour. We do not recommend changing the selection. |
||
|
Empty Foreground The current foreground selection is empty. The program does not perform any changes and there is nothing to store. |
||
|
Mixed Foreground Contains more than one of the foreground types. The options are the same as for Normal Foreground. |

|
Use Elements on Contour Layers Only Enhances the foreground selection, by applying a filter to prevent inappropriate objects from being used as foreground objects. |

|
Name Assigns a name to the applied calculation operation. This approach can be helpful for later editing. This function is used when you select the Store Settings for Reevaluation option on the Settings tab. |
||
|
Automatic Background Selection Automatically determines the objects to use for the background after you select the desired foreground. The function excludes objects in the foreground of the currently selected foreground from the selection. |

Edit Elements on Appropriate Layers Only Activates the object filter. |
||
| Representation of Hidden Objects | ||
|
Invisible on Layer AM_9 Places objects concealed by the foreground on this special layer, which is invisible, usually, because layer AM_9 is switched off. |
||
|
Dashed Shows hidden objects as defined in the drawing standard for hidden lines . By default, this representation is a magenta-colored, dashed line. |
||
|
Invisible, Deleted Deletes hidden objects. The program cannot restore these objects. |
||
|
Broken at All Intersections Breaks objects at all intersections with the foreground object. |
||
|
Settings Tab |

|
Store Settings for Re-evaluation Stores the settings for later reevaluation of the hidden objects. |

Foreground Entities Cannot be Selected During Background Selection Locks the foreground elements during background selection. |
