Let\u2019s face it, some things in life are more complicated than others. Flying an airplane is much more complex than flying a kite. Sometimes object selection in AutoCAD can get complex. Single clicks or any of the select options<\/a> just aren\u2019t enough. You might need to select all instances of an object with the same properties. Enter our hero, AutoCAD Quick Select<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

It\u2019s easy to get to, just right click and select it from the contextual pop-up menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"AutoCAD<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Build Your Query Filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, you can build powerful queries to quickly filter for just those objects you want. Let\u2019s say your drawing is full of circles of varying diameters. Your task is to find all the circles that have a diameter of 6.00 and change them to a different diameter. Quick Select makes short work of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just apply your filter to the entire drawing, or selected objects, and select the object type from the pulldown list. You\u2019ll see the properties box populate with all the available properties for that object. Select Diameter, then use the operator of = and insert your value. Include the results in a new selection set and click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

All 6.00 diameter circles will become selected, and you can now quickly change their diameter from the Properties Palette<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"AutoCAD<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Let\u2019s look at another example. Your polyline shapes are required to be closed. You\u2019re finding some that are not. It\u2019s your job to fix them. It\u2019s an easy task for Quick Select. Apply to the entire drawing, select Polyline<\/a>, and then its Closed Property. Use the = operator again, but select a value of No. Click OK, and now you\u2019re ready to fix them all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Quick<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The value box can change from a pulldown to a text entry box, depending on the property and operator you select. Operators can be Equal, Not Equal, Greater Than, or Less Than. There\u2019s also a Select All option, which provides a great way to just get every object type specified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Wait, There’s More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quick Select can also serve as a good starting point for debugging drawings. Since the Object type pulldown only shows the objects that are in your drawing, you may find the culprit there. I\u2019ve cleaned numerous files this way by filtering for Proxy objects. I\u2019ve even found that objects that were assumed to be Polylines were actually Traces (you have to be well seasoned to remember those).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So next time your needed object selection<\/a> gets a bit complicated, right click and make the complex, easy with Quick Select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
