• Finding and Selecting Objects by Name
• Finding and Selecting Objects by Attribute or Property
• Selecting the Parent Object of an Object in a Diagram
• Specifying the Highlight Color of Selected Objects in a Diagram
• Stroke Tool
• Locating the Source Functional Object for a Physical Object
• Slice Objects
• Window Controls

Summary:

• Copying an Object from Diagram to Diagram — cross-diagram copy/paste workflow for design objects.
• Selecting Objects (Specific / All / by Name / by Attribute or Property / Parent Object) — the various selection mechanisms available in the diagram editor, including search-based selection by name or by attribute/property value, and selecting a containing (parent) object.
• Specifying the Highlight Color of Selected Objects — configuring the visual highlight used to indicate selection.
• Stroke Tool — a drawing/annotation tool for freehand marking within diagrams.
• Locating the Source Functional Object for a Physical Object — navigating from a topological (physical) object back to its associated logical/functional counterpart.
• Slice Objects — objects representing cross-sectional "slices," used in certain physical representations.
• Window Controls — general diagram window/viewport controls (pan, zoom, etc.).
