Viewing ICOM paths with mouse-over highlighting (NAF)
You can highlight the complete flow of ICOM arrows in and out of operational activity nodes on an OV-5 diagram using the mouse-over highlighting feature. When enabled, the line or symbol node that you move your mouse over is highlighted, presenting it in a different color than lines on the rest of the diagram.
Mouse-Over Highlighting is particularly useful when examining a multiplexed flow on a context diagram, which can be very difficult to digest on a cluttered diagram. Another advantage to Mouse-Over Highlighting is that it eliminates the need to actually highlight a line by clicking it. If you are forced to click a line to highlight it, the chances that you may accidentally reposition it are greater.
