Selecting Using a Filter 

This task explains how to manage and customize the sub-geometry selection in order to avoid any ambiguity.
You need to activate the User Selection Filter toolbar by selecting the View -> Toolbars command and clicking User Selection Filter.
The toolbar is divided into two sections:

The icons on the left correspond to the types allowed when creating a feature (point, line, plane etc.). The icons on the right correspond to the selection modes: the Feature Element Filter selects the whole sketch whereas the Geometrical Element Filter enables to only select a part of the sketch.
After clicking a command, the icons allowed for the selection are highlighted.
If you select a type it cannot be selected in the geometry anymore.
If you deselect a mode, it cannot be selected anymore for each active type.
When both filter modes are highlighted, the Feature Element Filter mode prevails.
