oNamed Selections: Stores (temporarily into memory for the current session) a selection of objects. Simply select objects, and then enter a name (e.g. pipe_selection) for the new selection set in the the Named Selections drop-down list. When selecting new objects, you can combine the current selection with a saved selection by selecting -Combine with Current- from the Named Selections drop-down list. The Combine Selections box will then open to build the combined selection:
Usage
The Quick Access Bar does not track the state of the currently selected objects, or allow the user to change properties of selected objects. It only controls the properties of newly created objects. In order to change properties of objects, use the properties editor (Edit box).
