How can I display all cells in a hierarchical list dialog as shown in this page ( http://www.layouteditor.net/wiki/SelectCell%28list%29 )? If I press shift+F2, all I see is the top cell names only.

For designs with a small amount of cells the mentioned dialog will display all cells. In case the number of cells is large, only the top level cells are displayed. In this case all non top level cells can only be viewed in the hierarchy tree.

I don't really understand what you're saying. My layout only have 6 cells total. I can only see the top cell in the dialog when I press "Shift+F2", nothing else. Whatever layouts I open (6 cells or 30 cells), pressing "Shift+F2" doesn't give me any hierarchy tree shown in the link above. Only a list of top cells. My question is: How can I display the hierarchy tree of the cells in my layout? "Shift+F2" obviously doesn't give me that.

You had to separate these two features: *Mainmenu/Cell/Select Cell* (Shortcut F3): A list with hierarchical tree of all cells is displayed. You can choose the cell to be used as main cell. The hierarchical tree may be truncated to top level cell in the case you have a plenty of cells. *Mainmenu/Cell/Edit in Place/Select Cell (list)* (Shortcut Shift+ F2): From the current cell you will go one hierarchy level down and start a *Edit in Place*. The current main cell will be the same, but editing is done within the selected cell and not within the main cell. So with this feature only cells are listed used in the current displayed cell.

OK. So it is F3 key that shows the hierarchical tree of all cells. That answers my question. Thanks!
