If yo would like futher infromation on this software please visit A.C.T.publishing.com Topic: Selecting a single chain for edit. Goal: Remove/Hide all chains that are not needed. To do this¸ create a new Subassembly and name it "CLR". Try and think of this new subassembly as the clear function on a calculator. The desktop will also work for this CLR function, provided there are no polygons in it. My desktop never seems to be empty though.

Next step is to find and select the chain you would like to edit. (Do this by locating one of the vertices that makes up the chain. You can find a vertices usually where the chain changes direction.)

Once you locate the chain and select it, go into chain edit mode. This will act as a temporary buffer storing the chain.

Now select the CLR subassembly.

On the AD2000 tool bar, find the Show buttons and choose the "ALL" button first.

Next, make sure the CLR subassembly is selected and choose the "SEL" button.This should leave you with a single chain in the graphic editor. Now, you will be able to see the profile/section templates for easy chain alignment to them.
