Design selection (command)

Command Description
Design selection
For those members in the selection that are not in design groups:
  • Performs a check or design (according to individual autodesign settings) of the selected members.

For those members in the selection that are in design groups (and design using groups is active):

  • Performs a check of those members in the selection that are in check mode.
  • Performs a design of those members in the selection that are in autodesign mode (for the group's set of design forces), and:
    • Updates all other members of the same group to use the same design, (irrespective of whether they are in the selection).
    • Checks all other members of the same group (irrespective of whether they are in the selection).
Note: Design selection does not perform an analysis before the design - it always uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
Note: If only one member is in the selection, the command operates differently, adopting the logic of the Design member command instead.
