Quick Select Property Set Dialog Box

List of Options

The following options are displayed.

Apply To

Applies the filtering criteria to the entire drawing or to the current selection set (if one exists).

If Append to Current Selection Set is selected, the filtering criteria is applied to the entire drawing.

Select Objects

Temporarily closes the Quick Select Property Set dialog box so that you can select the objects to which you want to apply the filter criteria.

Object Type

Specifies the type of objects to include in the filtering criteria. If the filtering criteria are being applied to the entire drawing, the Object Type list includes all object types, including custom objects. Otherwise, the list includes only the object types of the selected objects.

It is limited to selecting one object time at a time.

Property Set Definitions

Lists the available property set definitions for the specified object type. Choose one of property set definitions to use as a selection filter.

Properties

Lists the available properties for the specified object type. Choose one of these properties to use as a selection filter. If you do not want to filter by property, choose Select All in the Operator field.

Note: If an application added a feature classification to an object, you can select a classification property.

Operator

Controls the range of the filter. Depending on the selected property, options can include Equals, Not Equal To, Greater Than, Less Than, and *Wildcard Match.* Wildcard Match is available only for text fields that can be edited. Use the Select All option to ignore all properties filters.

For more information on wild-card searches, see Wild-Card Characters Reference.

Value

Specifies the property value for the filter.

Note: This field handles property data formats specified in Style Manager without requiring prefixes or suffixes and takes decimal precision into account.

How to Apply

Specifies whether you want the new selection set to include or exclude objects that match the specified filtering criteria. Select Include in New Selection Set to create a new selection set composed only of objects that match the filtering criteria. Select Exclude from New Selection Set to create a new selection set composed only of objects that do not match the filtering criteria.

Append to Current Selection Set

Specifies whether the selection set created by QSELECTPROPERTYSET replaces or is appended to the current selection set.
