### Features Options Area

The Features Options area allows you to change the color of selected part features and whether or not selected features or feature ID labels are displayed in the Graphics Display window. To use the items in this area, you must first select one or more items from the List of Features and then click the Selected from the list option. This enables the other items in this area.

The Search ID and Select Last # boxes are discussed in the "Search ID" and "Select Last #" topics in the "Navigating the User Interface" chapter.

The Feature Color option allows you to set the color for a specified feature's identification. This option works in the same manner as the Edit Color option (see the Edit CAD dialog box found in "Editing CAD").
