Magic Wand/Class Selection Tool?

[eric.rktek]

Does anyone know of a magic wand/class selection tool out there for Version 12? I saw the magic wand on Vectorbits, and it looks great. I'm willing to pay for it, but I also want to see if anyone knows if it will work with V12. I tried to load the enhanced tape measure tool from the same site, and couldn't find it in the workspace editor.

As another route, I'm looking for a script that will simply select all the available items with a matching class to an item I would click on.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

- Email Manuel and ask him about the Magic Wand Tool and VW 12 (I'm sure it will).

- I have the Enhanced Tape Measure Tool working with 12. Try looking under VectorBits.

Try this....

Procedure PickClassSelect;

VAR

h :HANDLE;

ClSel, SelCrit :STRING;

px, py :REAL;

i :INTEGER;

Begin

repeat

GetPt(pX,pY);

h := PickObject(pX,pY);

ClSel := GetClass(h);

{message (concat('Class selected := ',ClSel));}

SelCrit := concat('C=',chr(39),Clsel,chr(39));

selectObj (SelCrit);

Until H=nil

END;

Run(PickClassSelect);

Thanks for the tips. I look again for the tape measure and follow up with the magic wand. Thanks also for the script. I'll give that a shot too.

I also came up with a bit of a workaround in the meantime. I set my class selection settings to 'show/snap' and used the 'force select' and a select all. It was a couple extra steps, but got the job done.

Mike,

Are you using the Mac or Windows version of the enhanced tape measure?

G-Pang,

Script works great. Thanks.
