ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a process, an apparatus and a program for selecting an object in a PLM database containing modeled objects. The invention allows a user to rapidly display a view of the set of objects while allowing for selecting an object in the view, for example through movement of a pointer such as a mouse.
