Select Objects | 361
With Quick Select, you can quickly define a selection set based on filtering
criteria that you specify, and if an application such as Autodesk Map was used
to add a feature classification to an object, you can select objects by classifi-
cation property. With Object Selection Filters, you can name and save filters
for future use.
With either Quick Select or Object Selection Filters, if you want to filter your
selection set based on color, linetype, or lineweight, first consider whether
these properties are set to
BYLAYER for any objects in your drawing. For exam-
ple, an object may appear red because its color is set to
BYLAYER and the layer
color is red.

To create a selection set using Quick Select
In the following example, you use Quick Select to select the red objects in a
drawing.
1 From the Tools menu, choose Quick Select.
2 In the Quick Select dialog box under Apply To, select Entire Drawing.
3 Under Object Type, select Multiple.
4 Under Properties, select Color.
5 Under Operator, select Equals.
6 Under Value, select Red.
7 Under How to Apply, select Include in New Selection Set.
8 Choose OK.
AutoCAD selects all red objects in the drawing and closes the Quick Select
dialog box. Objects that are set to
BYLAYER and are red because the layer
color is red are not included in the selection set.
Note If an application such as Autodesk Map was used to add a feature classi-
fication to an object, and the associated classification (XML) file is present, you
can select objects by classification property. Specifically, you can select a classifi-
cation in the Object Type box and a property in the Properties box.
