Help says: "If you highlight a symbol name in the Symbol Tree sub-window, that symbol will be highlighted in the Plot and Report windows, (this bit works). Similarly if you select a symbol in the Plot or Report windows, its structure will be highlighted in the Symbol Tree sub-window (this bit doesn't). This is indicated with a yellow arrow."

Any ideas?

Hi Tim,

Yes, it looks like changes to the selection in the Symbol Tree refresh the Plot/Report windows, but not vice versa. 

We'll log this as a bug - thanks for alerting us.

Kind regards,

Cheers Rob

It would be a useful way of quickly finding items on large drawing.

Another thought - when selecting multiple symbols in a drawing, could the Symbol Tree highlight the selected items, as I sometimes find it awkward to follow many selection anchors on the drawing sheet?

Could you then select multiple symbols by clicking within the Symbol Tree instead of the drawing?
