To restrict an operation (e.g. clearing/setting findings, removing tables, copying nodes, absorbing nodes, modifying node kind or discretization, hiding, etc.) to a limited set of nodes, you often select them first. If you have a certain set of nodes that you often do an operation on, it is useful to create a node-set of them, so that each time you can quickly select the nodes in that node-set.
To restrict an operation (e.g. compiling, absorbing nodes, reversing links, or optimizing decisions) to a previously created node-set, you can quickly select the nodes within it.
How To: Choose Edit→ Select Nodes → In NodeSet, and then select the desired node-set from the list of names, or Enter the name. The shortcut key for this command is ctrl+shift+s.
Once the selection has been made, it will behave like any other node selection.
There is an alternate way to consistently select a certain
group of nodes, if all those nodes have the same keyword in their title
or description (and other nodes don't). First use Edit
→ Find
to enter the keyword, then use Edit
→ Find
All to select them all.
