Selection Mode in Schematic views?

[sam.marrocco]

There are several places in the documentation for 2025 Flame that mention setting the "Selection Mode Box". In older versions of Flame, this let you select an option of 'Selected|All|Branch' and it determined the range of a Delete, Hide or other node-related operation in the Batch and Action Schematic views. It was right next to the Hide/Delete/other buttons for which it was tied.

Does this still exist as a button as the documentation suggests? If so, where is the Selection Mode Box as I must be overlooking it?

Hello Sam,

This button has been removed. You can now do the following to achieve the same Result:

• Selected: Select the desired nodes in the Schematic using the standard selection mechanism
• Branch: Alt-Click or Alt-Space-Click on a node to select all its upstream or downstream nodes.
• All: Use the Select All keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-A in Flame, Keypad/ in Smoke Classic)

Then, use the desired operation (hide, delete, etc.)

Hello Fred!

Thank you for the info....Glad to know I wasn't losing my mind (or vision) because I couldn't find that Button! Muscle memory had me moving to where it used to be located.

I suggest that all the old references to "use the Selection Mode Button/Box" be removed from the Flame docs.

I will take note of that. Thanks!
