Feature proposal: Entity Target Highlighting

[Sotha]

The mappers do a lot of entitywork with things targeting other things targeting other things. Good example are the path nodes.

 

After a while, DR view gets full of the purple arrows which depict the targeting relationships. The more there are these things the more difficult it is to get an at-a-glance understanding how the system is set up.

 

My suggestion:

Could there be an option to have an entity -when selected- highlight all the arrows and entities it targets with a different color to make them stand out from the other similar entites?

 

This would make it easier for the mapper to get an instant visual feedback which entity targets which entities -only by selecting it.

 

Thanks for considering my proposal.

Ah yes, very very good idea. And in addition that when a member of a particular group (in the above case) that the entities in said group are highlighted in bold...!!!

Sounds good. Perhaps switchable is better, eg, with a button like for speakers and lights: show all targets, just in case there is a situation where it might be needed.
