| The browser's status bar, located at the bottom of the screen, displays messages, filenames, and brief descriptions when you mouse over a hyperlink. This is especially useful during search functions when there may be multiple entries displayed in the selection frame for the same character string. | |||||||||
| For example, a search for the string "wire" results in numerous entries in the selection frame. You can determine which entry is associated with the string you are interested in by moving your mouse over each of the hyperlinks, without clicking, and watching the message displayed in the status bar at the bottom of your screen. In this example, the first occurrence of "ATTRIB_INTEDGE" is associated with the Boolean component and is a class that defines an attribute for linking intersection edges with the intersecting entities. | |||||||||
