When turning on "Allow Multi-select of Obstructed Faces" option and set Type Filter to "Solid Body", and then press Ctrl+A to select all, the solid bodies outside the graphics area are also selected. Is there any setting to not select geometries outside the area?

Reproduced Steps:
1. Create two components in an assembly (create a solid body for each components).
2. In Selection group, set "Allow Multi-select of Obstructed Faces" option to ON
3. Set Type Filter to “Solid Body”



4. Pan the view so one component is outside the graphics area
5. Select all by Ctr+A



6. Pan the view to bring the component outside the region into the region


Solution

Yes, it is possible to prevent selection of geometries outside the graphics area using UGII environment variables.
    UGII_SELECT_ALL_WITHIN_VIEW=1

Notes

The scope of this option has changed since NX 1872. Before NX 1847, it only applied to the area within the bounds of the graphics window, but since NX 1872, the scope has been changed to apply outside the bounds of the graphics window as well. If you would like the previous behavior, use UGII environment variable above.
