It is possible to expand a selection to cover the whole project or layer by using these two options.

  • Select similar will directly select the similar symbols assigned to the circuits on the active layer. The selection will also include other layers if there are any symbols belonging to the circuits on the current layer. 




  • Select similar with options... on the other hand will present two preference to the user: Same Circuit and Same Layer



These options can be selected simultaneously. Same circuit will select the similar symbols assigned to the same circuit only. Selected only this options will not limit the selection with the active layer. Same Layer will select similar symbols on the current layer only. This option will ignore the circuit assignation. Selecting both options will select similar symbols which are assigned to the same circuit and will also limit the selection with the current layer.
