Hopefully you\u2019re aware of it too, as it\u2019s one of the more common AutoCAD tips you\u2019ll find. However, it does have a limitation; that is, you can only select one item at a time. What happens if you need to select multiple items? For instance, you may need both Polylines and Circles. It could be done, but you\u2019d have to jump through a few hoops to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while you may be aware of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"QSELECT (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/autocad-lt\/learn-explore\/caas\/CloudHelp\/cloudhelp\/2016\/ENU\/AutoCAD-LT\/files\/GUID-40893D34-ADBE-406A-8993-9035F2771F1D-htm.html?st=QSELECT\" target=\"_blank\">QSELECT<\/a>, you may not know about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"FILTER  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/autocad-lt\/learn-explore\/caas\/CloudHelp\/cloudhelp\/2019\/ENU\/AutoCAD-LT\/files\/GUID-E0612A64-2B6A-4A67-BEB8-A646C4AC34DD-htm.html?st=FILTER%20(Command)\" target=\"_blank\">FILTER <\/a>command in AutoCAD. You won\u2019t find it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad?s=ribbon&amp;post_type=post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"ribbon (opens in a new tab)\">ribbon<\/a>, or even the pulldown menus. It\u2019s only available via the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"command line (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/autocad-command-line-tuesday-tips-frank\/\" target=\"_blank\">command line<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is simple. You build a query list from within the dialog to define what you want to select, then apply your list of filters. You\u2019ll start with the Select Filter list. Choose your desired object, (in this case, a Polyline) and make sure you then click Add to List. Now, just do it again to add Circles. Apply, the dialog dismisses, and all your Polylines and Circles are selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_1-1_m8rhxp-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_1-1_m8rhxp-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_1-1_m8rhxp.jpg 752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"building-your-list-of-layers-filters\">Building Your List of Layers &amp; Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now remember the Quick Select command? Its power is being able to apply various object properties to the selection. Good news! That\u2019s the Filter command\u2019s superpower too. It just works differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the bottom of the Select Filter list are some special operators that help to build your conditions. They must be added to your list just like the objects are. Also, you must use both the Begin and End operator, and they must bracket your items. That\u2019s easier seen than said\u2026 in the example below, I want either a Polyline or a Circle, so I start by adding a Begin OR and finish with an End OR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"759\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_2_slx8ls.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_2_slx8ls.jpg 759w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_2_slx8ls-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For our next example, I may want to select all Multileaders that are on layer NOTES and of the style TuesTips. You can see the filter syntax below. Note that if you choose an object just as Layer, the Select\u2026 button will activate, allowing you an easy way to select the property. In fact, you can bypass the Select Filter list if you want and select your object with the Add Selected Object button at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_3_zj6iah.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_3_zj6iah.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/04\/Filter_3_zj6iah-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-thoughts-on-object-and-layers\">Final Thoughts on Object and Layers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The combinations are almost endless, and your filter list may get quite large. They are a bit complex to create, so you may want to save them for future use. No problem, just click on the Save As button on the right side and stash it away for next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bit about the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"logical operators (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/autocad-lt\/learn-explore\/caas\/CloudHelp\/cloudhelp\/2020\/ENU\/AutoCAD-LT\/files\/GUID-26E993C3-26F2-4F68-9C66-454C05676304-htm.html?st=xor%20or%20and\" target=\"_blank\">logical operators<\/a>. The AND operator says that all conditions within it must be met. OR means that if any of the conditions are met, it will return as a true statement. The final operator is XOR (Exclusive OR). It returns true if either, but not both, of the conditions are true. Most people stick with AND &amp; OR. You can even nest these logical operators if you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the Filter command is a bit old school, and it may take a little practice to master, but once you have, you\u2019ll have added an extremely powerful tool for selecting layers and objects across your drawings.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"more-tuesday-tips\">More Tuesday Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our whole&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/tag\/tuesday-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tuesday Tips series<\/a>&nbsp;for ideas on how to make AutoCAD work for you.
