Select similar?

[ed.p.may]

I feel like I should know how to do this, and yet…

How can I select all the objects which are ‘similar’ by some property (lineweight, linetype, etc…)

I have a bunch of lines with linetype ‘dash’ and I just want to grab them all?

thanks!

Here are a couple of selection tools for objects by print properties:

SelCrvsByLinetype2.py (2.4 KB)
SelObjsByPrintWidth.py (2.3 KB)

Thanks @Helvetosaur !

So I’m not just missing it someplace obvious: this isn’t functionality available through the basic UI like in AutoCad, Illustrator, etc…? Thats very surprising.

thanks though!

SelLinteype is there - so that script is probably obsolete. Selection by print width is not available natively as far as I know. And no, there is not a generic “Select similar…” dialog.
