When a subassembly is edited in-place, the parts belonging to the edited subassembly and those belonging to the parent assembly can be selected. The part priority mode allows the selection of individual parts in the active or inactive assembly or subassembly. Just hold down the Shift key and right-click the mouse while the cursor is positioned within the graphics window! HOT TIP: The selection priority list can also be accessed via a shortcut menu. Note that the individual frames making up the subassembly cannot be selected.

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to create selection sets with the help of priority modes. So, the some priority modes available in the assembly environment might not be available in the part environment, drawing environment, and presentation environment. The selection priority modes available depend on the active environment. A selection set is simply those components, parts, features, or sketches that you have selected on your graphics area. Autodesk Inventor provides selection priority modes to enable the user create selection sets. Components, parts, features, and sketches must be selected before they can be edited or modified in anyway.
