To create a selection set using Quick Select

In the following example, you use Quick Select to select the red objects in a drawing.

  1. Click Tools menu Quick Select.At the Command prompt, enter qselect.
  2. In the Quick Select dialog box, under Apply To, select Entire Drawing.
  3. Under Object Type, select Multiple.
  4. Under Properties, select Color.
  5. Under Operator, select Equals.
  6. Under Value, select Red.
  7. Under How to Apply, select Include in New Selection Set.
  8. Click OK.

    All red objects in the drawing are selected and the Quick Select dialog box closes. Objects that are set to BYLAYER and are red because the layer color is red are not included in the selection set.

NoteIf an application such as Autodesk Map was used to add a feature classification to an object, and the associated classification (XML) file is present, you can select objects by classification property. Specifically, you can select a classification in the Object Type box and a property in the Properties box.
