Dexie Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I am trying to select a number of line hundreds of other lines of the same colour, weight etc. the only thing they have in common is length. So I want to select all lines of x length. The custom selection tool doesn't seem to do this. Any ideas would be welcome. Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Use the Select Similar Tool..... Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Select Similar does not appear to have a length option. I have posted a script that will do this over in the Vectorscript Sharing forum. http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=166219Post166219 Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 No Length criterion, but Vincent is probably suggesting the Size criterion in the Other area of the Select Similar tool prefs. It works to select lines of same length from collection of lines with several different lengths & colors, and arcs with same arc length as target line. -B Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You are right. I was reading to fast. The only size I saw was in the Marker section. Select Similar with Size selected does exactly what Dexie asked for. Quote Link to comment
Dexie Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I missed it completely and was trying to use custom selection. There is usually a simple solution. Many thanks Quote Link to comment
