Description
Both the Select menu and the Selection toolbox provide options for
specifying which hierarchy is used for the
Select Parents and
Select Children
commands.
Select between Standard Hierarchy or Constrained Hierarchy for the
Select Parents and Select Children commands. This setting can be specified
either from the Select menu or in the Selection toolbox.
There are two options for hierarchy:
- Standard Hierarchy
():
Specifies that parent/child relationships exist between entities of similar types (i.e. grid
entities are parents and children of other grid entities and database entities are parents
and children of other database entities). This is the default option.
- Constrained Hierarchy
():
Specifies that parent/child relationships exist between database entities (the parents) and
the grid entities constrained to them (the children).
The figures in the
Select Parents and the
Select Children sections of this
User Manual outline in detail the parent/child relationships for every entity in both Standard
Hierarchy and Constrained Hierarchy.
