Tree view of logical groups

Objects of User and Object group type, as well as all objects of D2000 system, can be assigned to logical groups. If you select the group of objects, there will be only the objects that are members of the selected groups in the list.

The All objects group is not a logical one. When it is selected, there are displayed objects regardless of membership in groups.

List of object types

List of object types depends on the process and purpose of selection window. Each type of objects has its characteristic icon placed left. The icon will be also used in the list of objects in front of the name of these objects.

List of objects

List of objects is placed on the right side of selection window. It contains only those objects of the type selected in the list of object types and that are assigned to selected logical group. The list can be sorted by a mask.

Opening a list of children of selected objects

If the object in the list has some children, its name is enclosed between square bracket. Pressing ALT and double-click the object opens the list of its children. The same way allows to access to the list of objects assigned to Group of objects.

• Press SHIFT + click on object to select several objects at the same time,
• Press CTRL + click on object to select, eventually unselect it,
