Summit WMScanner Users Guide 69
● Noun/Verb Selection - To specify objects for a command to operate upon, you can either make the
selection and invoke the command, or invoke the command and then make the selection. The former
is considered a noun/verb selection (the selection occurs before specifying the action) and is enabled
by this checkbox.
● Use Shift to add to selection - Checking this box forces Summit WMScanner to use the typical
Windows selection semantics. The default is to add to the selection when you click on a different
object, and to remove the object from the selection set when shift is held down.
● Press and Drag - Summit WMScanner usually requires you to define a selection rectangle with two
clicks, each at diagonally opposite corners. Enabling this checkbox allows you to click and drag to
sweep out rectangles.
● Implied Windowing - When a point is selected outside of an object, start a selection rectangle (or
window).
● Object Grouping - Checking this box implies that if one object in a group is selected, the rest of the
group should also be selected.
● Associative Hatch - This option is generally not used with Summit WMScanner drawings, which
usually do not make use of associative hatches. This option determines which objects are selected
when you select an associative hatch. If this option is selected, boundary objects are also selected
when you select an associative hatch.
● Grips - The boxes shown on objects once they are selected. They are so named because they permit
you to drag and reshape or resize the object once selected. The options are straightforward with the
exception of the “enable grips within blocks” checkbox, which specifies whether individual objects
within a block have visible grips, or whether a set of grips is shown for the block as a whole.
