greenfin,
Highlighting an element in one elevation will not highlight it in another elevation, although any changes you make will be reflected in all the other elevations when they are updated (ie when you next open/select one).
Only elements modified in the 3D window will automatically update in realtime on to the floor plan (strangely not the opposite!?). None of the other views are linked in realtime. They all require some form of updating to see any changes.
So the answer is no, not really!

Do yourself a favour, regardless of what the GS marketing tells you:
Switch the Coordinates and Control box on. Tracker off. Windows/Palettes. Place them in the bottom or top of the screen.
Slightly off-topic I know, but why do you recommend this? I've seen it mentioned several times but I've never known the reason why. Personally I've been using ArchiCAD for 18 months, so still a newbie I suppose, but I have never even turned on the co-ordinates & control box. What have I been missing out on all this time?! I seem to get on OK just using the tracker (when it stays on!).

i don't really have to know all that, do I. I mean the icons should be somewhere on some menu-, option- or toolbar.

Well, after 13 years ...
First, I am used to it. That's a personal reason that bears no objective weight. But - the Tracker can to an extent replace the Coordinate box FOR THE BEGINNER. Not for the user who knows what the small delta buttons mean, how to reposition the origin, what does pressing S do etc ... Much more important is the Control box, with the Special snap points for example. Do you know where they are? I intentionally forgot.
Before anyone mentions the building of my own UI or command palettes - sorry, guys, if you pay for a car, you don't expect a kit. I might tune and tweak it, but it has to work out of the box.
The point is, "old" tools and methods were not OBVIOUS. You had to have someone to show you - but once you know, you fly. The "new" methods are falling over themselves trying to be obvious, and are spectacularly failing to even come close to the "old" ones. The fact that the new users are used to a software that is as friendly as a mad hedgehog with a hangover, and melt at ANY hint of freindlieness (look! a guideline! a bunch of them! wooow!) does not require Archicad to become inelegant, obvious and plain. We should be architect, I seem to recollect?
