Highlighting objects prior to selection

When you are selecting objects from the viewport and you stop moving the cursor, Abaqus/CAE highlights the object that would be selected at the cursor position. This behavior, called preselection, allows you to see exactly which object would be selected before you make the selection. If the current selection options make more than one object available, Abaqus/CAE changes the cursor, adding ellipsis marks (...) to the right of the arrow, and highlights all the possible selections. The position and type filtering that you choose for selection also applies to preselection.
