Coordinate Strategy dialog box

Entity Types
Input Filter	Appears when you create, edit, or clone a single-strategy selection recipe, or when you add the first strategy to a stacked selection recipe. Available when you create or clone a selection recipe.Specifies where the node that you want to select exists.The listed options vary, depending on whether the Simulation file or FEM file is the displayed part.Selecting any option other than Entire Model limits the scope of the strategy.
Select Object	Appears when Input Filter is set to Mesh or Component.Lets you select the mesh or component FEM where the node that you want to select exists.
Entity Type	Specifies the type of entity to select using this strategy.This is set to Node and cannot be changed.
Selection
Specify Point	Lets you specify the coordinate near the node that you want to select.You can click Point Dialog to open the Point dialog box, or select the point creation method from the list and then take the appropriate action in the graphics window.
Tolerance	Sets the maximum allowable distance between the specified coordinate and the node.The tolerance value should be equal to or greater than the value that appears in the Distance To Nearest Node box. If the tolerance is less than that value, the strategy will not select a node unless the coordinate or geometry changes.
Distance To Nearest Node	Displays the distance to the nearest node based on the specified coordinate and current geometry.If the distance is 0.0, the specified coordinate is at the same location as the nearest node.
Resolve Preference	If two or more nodes exist within the tolerance distance from the specified coordinate, specifies which one to select.Lowest LabelSelects the node with the lowest label value.Highest LabelSelects the node with the highest label value.Closest NodeSelects the node closest to the specified coordinate.
