Is it possible to identity the number of a face or edge? The faces and edges are all given numbers e.g. Face <23> or Edge <17> when they are selected to add a constraint or a force and listed in the selected items dialogue box. If later you wish to removed one of these items from the list how can you find out the number of that item? If you could interrogate the move and find the Edge of Face numbers they could easily be deleted from the dialogue box - is this possible?

Hi Richard,
Lots of good questions from everyone recently
As far as I know, Inventor does not show the face or edge ID. But I think that one of these methods will help with what you are trying to do. Let's take the example of deleting a constraint from the model.
Naturally, you can select the constraint on the model, and it highlights the entry in the browser. Then you can Edit the constraint. So this makes it easy to get the correct entry from the many constraints listed in the browser.
After the dialog opens, you can do one of these:
Selected Entities
Select Other
I just discovered this trick while trying to find a solution to your post.

Thanks John,
The Select Other 'trick' does seem to work, for loads as well - and will prove most helpful! - A shame you can not just click on the item you wish to remove without the need for the Select Other.
