Select by Filter

This command can be used to build a selection set of objects inside a drawing based on properties of layer, level, entity type, style, linetype, size and color. The open/closed filter applies to polylines. There is a dialog to define the filter of which properties to include and exclude. The Entities To Process option chooses between checking the entire drawing or prompting for a selection to process with the filter. The program then builds a selection set of those objects that resides on those layers. Then to use this selection set in other commands, enter "P" for previous at the "Select objects:" prompt.
