Synchronise data selections

Right-click on a layer in the Vizex Layer Display pane and select a Sync Selection option to synchronise your data selections between different (Vizex, Chart, and File Editor) views of the same data.

To synchronise the selections in multiple layers, select those layers in the Vizex Layer Display pane and choose an option from the Sync Selection tool menu.

Option   Description
None The Sync Selection None icon Sync Selection options for the displayed data are turned off. Selections are not being sent or received.
Receive The Sync Selection Receive icon When someone else has changed the data selection in another synced view and Sync Selection Receive is enabled, the selections in the current view are updated.
Send The Sync Selection Send icon When data selections are changed and Sync Selection Send is enabled, those selections are sent if the same data is open in another synced view.
Both The Sync Selection Both icon Both Sync options for the displayed data are turned on. The current view is sending selections out and receiving selections in.

For example, a ClosedStereonet chart can be selection synchronised with Vizex whenever the same file is loaded in both windows. This makes it easy to click a structure in either window and see it highlighted in the other, allowing trends or errors to be more easily identified in the real world.

Data selections can only be sent and received between synchronised layers that exist in different instances of Vizex.
