Hello everybody,

is it possible in SW 2007 to right-click on a component in 3D to highlight it in the structure tree? I have a big assembly with a lot of sub-assemblies and components... and I'm trying to find a screw in the structure tree by selecting it first in space (highlight the part), but I cannot find any contextual menu - like "center graph" in Catia V5. Could somebody show me how to do it?

Thanks many times in advance!

Left-click on an object in the viewport and it highlights in the tree. If that's not working on your system, perhaps there's an option buried in the Options area somewhere that has this disabled (I don't know of any).
