Selection procedure in Gemini Pattern Designer X20 was changed, in order to provide an easier access to dependent elements such as attached pieces or each individual point of a notch, without the need to extract it or to place the program into a special working mode and also to offer disambiguation tools in case two or several elements are overlapped. This and other goals lead to a simple solution: always select the parent and after that you can select the child, extended to any level of dependence. This system is also backed by a default automatic disambiguation system and ultimately by manual disambiguation in extreme cases.
In fewer words: the user can select anything, anytime, without confusions, in a simple and direct way.
