just like i was looking for a solution, they are same in all measurements and same color type but they are in different classes

45

assuming they have the same measurements, but different colors and layers

46

My aim is to find similar objects, automatically select those objects, but they are different color and different class

47

Can you explain what you mean by ā€œdifferent classesā€?

letā€™s say I have 3 identical objects with the same size, but not the same layer and color. Is there a way for me to quickly select all of them?

50

you can created a named selection for them-
you can group them
you can name them in the properties and then use selname
you can create a snapshot of them (this has a ton of options)

thank you but really what you share i have done too, but they are not fast

Besides what Kyle mentioned you might be able to script to select by volume. If the detail is identical it would have the same volume. But that would only work for closed polysurfaces.

you can always make those commands into an alias or hotkey to speed it up- use an unassigned f key or your own choice of key combo for an alias.

I just want to have a version that helps me when I look up how many similar objects in a drawing are, and automatically select those objects, without having to search through layers.

57

I just hope so, itā€™s really worth it for me. Can you please help me with a script?

I have a few questions that I really need your help with, but Iā€™ll ask you tomorrow!

Iā€™ve tried it and itā€™s helpful, but if that script works on all surface types that would be great, am I too greedy? for something that canā€™t be done?
