3 On the lower bar of the Data Table dialog box (page 1613), click Search To
Select.
4 Create an expression for your search. You can create the following types
of expressions:
■ Property Evaluation expressions compare the value of a property to
a value you specify. For example, you can find parcels with an area
greater than a value you specify, or streets with a particular number
of lanes.
■ Location Conditions find data based on its location in the map. For
example, you can draw a circle to find all parcels within that circle.
You can save your expression for reuse.
5 To create a complex property evaluation, insert an AND or OR operator,
and then insert another property, operator, and value combination.
Every operator must be preceded by a property. For example, to find
parcels whose last purchase date is after 1990 and before 2005, the
expression must look like this:
Purchase_Date > 1990 AND Purchase_Date < 2005
6 Validate your expression.
7 To reuse your expression in the future, from the Options list in the Search
To Select dialog box, select Save Expression.
8 When the expression is complete and valid, click OK.
When AutoCAD Map 3D has completed the search, it highlights both
the selected rows in the Data Table and the associated features on your
map.
