Selecting a child of a component on PCB would select the component on Schematic
Brooks Solveig
We've been talking about selection today - how it works across modes, across tabs, and for collaborators. One thing we support today is that if a component is selected on PCB mode, it'll also become selected on Schematic mode. Great!
But what happens if you drill in on PCB and select a child of the component? It'd be cool if on Schematic mode, the parent were selected.
So let's play the scenario out. You're on PCB. You select R1 on the canvas and double click in to select on of its pads. Then you switch modes to Schematic. You see that R1 is selected on the canvas. If you do nothing and switch back to PCB mode, I would expect that pad to still be selected there. BUT if, on Schematic, you were to interact with R1, your selection on PCB would shift up the tree to match. So switching back to PCB mode, you'd see R1 was selected, not its child anymore.
Make sense? Is that cool?
