Selection panel
Remember
Store the current selection in the document's memory, replacing whatever was there.
On the ribbonButton, Selection panel
NeedsA selection (an empty one is reported, not stored)
What it does#
Replaces the memory with the current selection and toasts how many items went in. This is the starting point for everything else on the panel.
How to use it#
- Select anything: a click in the view, a Find Items result, a selection set.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+M or click Remember.
- Carry on. Hide things, section, click elsewhere. The memory keeps what you had.

Limitations#
- One memory per document. Remember replaces it; use Add to grow it instead.
- Items are stored by their path in the model tree. If the model is republished with a different structure, some items may not resolve on Recall, and the toast will say how many.
Other uses#
- Before a risky operation, Remember the selection so a mis-click costs nothing.
- Remember at the end of the day; the memory is still there tomorrow.
