Travis Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 1) If all visible layers are set at the same scale and layers options are set to Show/Snap/Modify, you can select anything you can see. 2) Selected items can be assigned a class together via the OIP. 3) I don't know a way to specify certain types of object and/or their attributes. There are those among this community who are exceptionally good at scripting, you might try searching/posting the VectorScript board. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Cairo9, Custom Selection will enable you to do #3 directly, w/o knowing how to script. Goto menu Organize>Custom Selection... If you want to look at the script this will generate, select "Create Script", otherwise leave the selection on "Execute Immediately". When you look at the script, "&" means AND, and, "|" means OR. ("|" is a vertical bar, not a capital "i".) Press the "Criteria" button. You will need 3 categories to get Rectangles with 2 colors, so press the "More Choices" button twice. First Choice: Type - is - Rectangle Second Choice: Fill Back Color - is - RED (choose color from palette) Third Choice: Fill Back Color - is - GREEN (choose color from palette) Check the User's Manual for more details.
