used for many other functions in the PC3, namely for saving selected objects and for several
object utility functions that are described later.

Here is a brief description of each button’s function, followed by a detailed explanation of its
operation.

Select

Select or deselect an object.

Next

Jump to the next selected object.

Type

Jump to the next object of a different type.

Multi

Go to the Multiple Object Selector page.

OK

Tell PC3 to proceed to load the selected objects.

Cancel

Exit back to the File List Dialog.

Press the Select button to choose the highlighted object for loading. An asterisk (*) is placed in
between the object name and the object ID for any items that are selected. Deselect a selected
object by pressing Select again. The asterisk will disappear. The easiest way to choose objects for
loading is to scroll the list and individually press Select on each object you want to load.

If you only want to select one object for loading, you need not select it with the Select button.
Instead, pressing OK implicitly selects the highlighted object if there are no other objects
selected. If there are objects selected, however, then the highlighted object will not be loaded
unless it is selected.

The Next button will cause the index into the list to jump to the next selected object, forward in
the list. When the end of the list is reached, the search will wrap around from the beginning. If
you have more than one object selected, then if you repeatedly press Next you can easily cycle
through all selected items. If there are no items selected, then this button doesn’t do anything.

The Type button jumps to the next object of a different type from the one that is currently
highlighted. This is a convenient way to find a particular type of object in the list.

Press the Multi button to enter the Multiple Object Selector (described on page 13-12). This
powerful utility can be used to control the selection or deselection of many objects, cross-
referenced by object types and ranges of ID numbers.

When you are all done selecting objects to load, press OK. As stated above, if only one object is
to be loaded, it is implicitly selected if it is the currently highlighted object and there are no other
selected objects in the list.

Cancel

returns to the file list dialog, highlighting the file you just opened. You can load the

entire file after pressing Cancel by pressing OK when you return to the file list.
