Problem
What is the difference between a Quickset and a DisplaySet?
Solution
A Quickset is intended to provide control over the manner in which a group of elements are selected and manipulated, and is essentially an abbreviated method of creating a Named Group. The name itself is strictly based on the Quickset number chosen via Shift-Right Click > Quickset Save.
A Displayset, on the other hand, controls how a group of elements is displayed on-screen. When a Displayset is active, all elements not belonging to that Displayset will not be visible.
Note that a Quickset can be added to a Displayset, thereby providing a mix of these two distinct functions. After creating a Quickset choose Utilities > Named Groups, and in the Named Groups dialog highlight the Quickset that was created. Either click on the "Put Elements into the Displayset " icon, or right-click and choose the "Add to Displayset option".
To Create a Quickset from the View Control Pop-up Menu
- Use the Element Selection tool to select the elements to be included.
- With the pointer in the view, press <Shift-Reset> to open the view control pop-up menu.
- From the Quickset Save menu, choose the required number for the quickset.
To Recall a Quickset from the View Control Pop-up Menu
- With the pointer in the view, press <Shift-Reset> to open the view control pop-up menu.
- From the Quickset Recall menu, choose the number for the required quickset.
To Create a Quickset with a Keyboard Shortcut
- Use the Element Selection tool to select the elements to be included.
- Press <Ctrl-Shift-n> where n is the number of the quickset (from 1 to 9, entered from the alphanumeric part of the keyboard).
