Subobjects are only considered at the object level. For example, when a mesh
vertex is selected, SELECTSIMILAR selects other mesh objects, not just the
mesh vertices.
NOTE If an application such as AutoCAD
®
Map 3D was used to add a feature
classification to an object, and the associated classification (XML) file is present,
you can select objects by classification property. Specifically, you can select a
classification in the Object Type box and a property in the Properties box.
