Route selection commands on the shortcut menu allow you to select a section of a route network to modify. These commands simplify the selection of a specific section of a network. For example, if you want to modify a leg along with its supports, select the leg using On Same Leg, and add the hangers supporting the leg using Get Connected Supports. If you select multiple parts that belong to different part types (piping component and piping instrument for example), then the route selection commands are not available.
Depending on the active Locate Filter, different route selection commands are available.

Get Connected Supports
Selects all hangers and supports connected to the selected feature. You must have a piping feature selected to use this shortcut command.
Get Continuously Connected
Selects the feature and all features that are continuously connected to that feature. Use this command to select a disconnected section of piping network. If it is a large network with thousands of features, the selection takes more time. You must have a piping feature selected to use this shortcut command.
Get Features
If you have the Locate Filter set to Piping Parts, then Get Features selects the parent feature of the selected part or parts.
If you have the Locate Filter set to Pipe Runs, then Get Features selects all the features in the selected run.
If you have the Locate Filter set to Piping Features, then Get Features contains a group of subcommands to select a targeted route network. The Get Features commands apply to features that are in the select set and are defined in the Workspace. You can select one or more features on the network. You can also combine the following subcommands to extend the targeted network as necessary.
On Same Run
Selects all features that belong to the same run even if the run is discontinued.
On Same Leg
Selects all features that belong to the same leg. A leg is a group of route features routed in the same direction. The software also includes the along-leg feature if the selected leg is a branch.
On All Connected Branches
Selects all features associated with the connected branches. Select an along-leg feature that has a branch connected. Right-click and select On All Connected Branches. The software selects the associated features connected to the branch run until it branches into a header run, or until a free end is traversed.
For Connected Fittings
Adds the immediate connected fittings to the selection. You must select a branch component.
You can select a leg using On Same Leg, and then use For Connected Fittings to add all the adjacent branch fittings on that leg to the selection.
