Select multiple objects in the Viewer panel

By drawing a rectangle around multiple objects in the 3D Viewer panel, you can highlight those objects as well as select them in related panels. Related panels include the Assembly panel or tab in the Process Planning or Work Instructions Authoring page, as well as the engineering bill of materials (EBOM) or manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) panels on the BOM Alignment page.
