Element List

Element list

List can be sorted by any column. Element drawing is based on their elevation and is not affected by the sorting order.

Filter

List contents can be filtered by simple search string. If the filter field contains some string, only files with name containing the string are displayed. This does not affect active file or canvas drawing.

Star beside the field can be used to store the filter string permanently to a drop down list. List opens with down arrow key for stored filter selection. Filter string can be removed from the list with the crossmark icon.
