Dialog Controls

Setting	Description
Selection filter	Only those objects will be taken into consideration, which meet the filter condition.
Select Objects separately	You specify manually by your selection, which objects have to be protected or released. No filter will be applied in this case.
All Objects	All objects in the drawing are automatically selected without applying a filter. Processing of course only refers to dimensions, position flags, weld marks and height indicators.
Only dimensions	Only dimensioning objects are automatically selected in the drawing.
Each Flag	All position flags, weld marks and height indicators are automatically selected in the drawing.
Only Position flags	All position flags are selected in the drawing.
Only Weldflags	All weld marks are selected in the drawing.
Only elevation flags	All height indicators are selected in the drawing.
Protect	Activates the protection against update for the selected objects unless it already exists. If you have checked the entry ‘Select Objects’ as selection filter, the desired objects have to be selected first.
Unprotect	Removes the protection against update for the selected objects if they have one. If you have checked the entry Select Objects separately as selection filter, the desired objects have to be selected first.

Note: You cannot compare the protection against update with a blocked layer.

If the dimension to be protected was only on a blocked layer, it would be kept there, but the newly created (synonymous) dimension would not be deleted.
