Charlie Serf Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Tools > Custom Selection. I want to select windows with a certain ID tag. Is it possible? If so, How? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The Tag data is stored in two fields, IDLabel for the incrementing number and IDPrefix for the prefix. So you would need a double criteria: Field Value IDPrefix = 'W-' Field Value IDLabel = 01 When setting the criteria make sure you scroll down and pick the fields from the Window record format. By default, the above is going to return every object with an ID Prefix of W- OR a IDLabel of 01. If you only want ones that have both you will have to save it as a script and then edit the script to change the & between the criteria to a | (vertical bar or pipe character than stands for a logical OR). 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie Serf Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Thank you Pat! Since my version is 2017 it's a little different from what you suggested. 'ID Prefix' is not under 'Windows Record Format', but under 'Window'. However you've put me on the right path. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
Charlie Serf Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Is there anyway to create a script to select ID Prefix, with the option to enter different field values every time? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Almost anything is scriptable. ;-) How much to you want to learn? Quote Link to comment
