> ## Selecting Entities

> Selecting an entity or entities is often the first step to many of the operations that you will perform with EDA files. You can select an entity or entities in an EDA file from the Navigation Panel or the workspace. You can also select entities from the Entity Search dialog box when you search for entities. To specify which types of entities you can or cannot select, use the Entity Filter dialog box.

> Once you have selected an entity, you can zoom to it in the workspace and perform other operations with the EDA file.

> ## From the Navigation Panel

> Click any components, nets, associated pins, or net nodes in the Navigation Panel to select them. To select more than one entity, press the Shift or Control key while selecting.

> The selected entity or entities are highlighted in the workspace. If the selected entity is small, a flash box appears indicating the location of the highlighted entity in the workspace.
