Does anyone know how to get these blue mouse overselection outlines not to show? It's extremly annoying when trying to look at a small detail and have those lines show up.
 
Add this to your config.pro and you can toggle the prehighlight

mapkey $F1 @MAPKEY_LABELToggle Pre-Highlighting - F1;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `MenuBar1`1 `Edit`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `Edit.cbSelect`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `Edit.cbSelect`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Select `main_dlg_cur` `Edit.cbSelect`;~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `MenuBar1`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Close `main_dlg_cur` `Edit.cbSelect`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `psh_sel_filter`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `selprefs` `PrehButton` ;~ Activate `selprefs` `Ok`;
 
I wouldnt turn off preselection highlighting cause you will want it other times. Usually I just toggle my selection filter to annotation if I want to zoom way in and not have anything pre-highlight for me.
 
I took Volunteer's suggestion and created two map keys, one to turn it on and one to turn it off. For future readers;inVolunteer's above post you should only need the first line and thelast two lines:

mapkey $F1 @MAPKEY_LABELToggle Pre-Highlighting - F1;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `psh_sel_filter`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `selprefs` `PrehButton` ;~ Activate `selprefs` `Ok`;


Or you can do as I did and use the mapkey box from the tools menu, create a new mapkey, and check or uncheck the Prehighlight box from the Edit\Preferences menu.
 
when showing off an assembly to managers ... I suggest setting your smart setting to annotation so there are unwanted part highlight doesn't occur.
 
I think instead of playing around with mapkeys or color schemes. I would go for just a one click smart settings, and choose annotation for this kind of work.
