I'm wondering if there is a different way to choose what trace a cursor is attached to than clicking the trace symbol icon on the bottom of the plot window. If you are doing a Monte Carlo simulation with many traces then it is impossible to choose a certain trace since there are too many to show in the list of symbols. Is there any way to click on a trace and have the cursor lock on to it?

Not sure why you want to lock the cursor a specific section. If you are running multi section analysis (Like MC) you get the results for all sections separately. In other words, you do not need to select a specific section to see value for a specific trace. One can just position the cursor on appropriate x axis position and get the Y value for all traces.
You can select the specific sections to load by bringing up trace selection dialog and reduce the number of sections loaded, this is an indirect way to reduce the list and thus get the ability to select specific section trace from the bottom of trace pane.
I understand you can see the Y values for all traces in the trace results window. What I don't like about that is that I can't sort the order of the traces in the trace results window. For example, I would like to easily see which traces had the minimum or maximum y value at a certain x value. I know that can be somewhat done with performance analysis, but performance analysis fails if I'm varying more than one variable at a time (such as temperature, and doing a MC analysis).
Is it possible to bring up the trace selection dialog box without resimulating it? The only time I see it is right after the simulation completes.
