Select all block instances of same type (definition)?

Rhino Rhino for Windows
#1

What command accomplishes this?

Desired workflow:

  1. Select BlockInstance in viewport
  2. Enter command to have all instances of same type (block/definition) selected as well

Hi Robert - there is no such command. When you select an instance, you will see its name in the Properties panel. You can then run the SelBlockInstanceName and locate this name on the list.
I have filed RH-56445 for a wish for a new command to make this easier.

Hi Wim, Robert,
It does not work with preselection I think, but scripted version of -SelBlockInstanceName (with dash) should have an option to select blocks to match.
