If Append to Current Selection Set is selected, the filtering criteria is applied
to the entire drawing.
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.
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. Otherwise, the list includes only the
object types of the selected objects.
If an application such as Autodesk Map was used to add a feature
classification to an object, you can select a classification.
Operator
Controls the range of the filter. Depending on the selected property, options
may include Equals, Not Equal To, Greater Than, Less Than, and *Wildcard
Match. Greater Than and Less Than are not available for some properties.
*Wildcard Match is available only for text fields that can be edited.
For information about the available wild-card characters, see the table in
“Filter and Sort the List of Layers” in the User’s Guide.
Properties
Specifies the object property for the filter. This list includes all searchable
properties for the selected object type. The property you select determines
the options available in Operator and Value.
If an application such as Autodesk
®
Map
™
was used to add a feature
classification to an object, you can select a classification property.
Select Objects
Temporarily closes the Quick Select dialog box so that you can select the
objects to which you want to apply the filter criteria. Press ENTER to return
to the Quick Select dialog box. The Apply To box is changed to show Current
Selection. The Select Objects button is available only when you select Include
In New Selection Set and clear Append to Current Selection Set.
