Select Entities by Attribute

Select Entities by Attribute

Using the Select Entities by Attribute icon on the SpaceDesign toolbar, you can specify a search pattern for each attribute, and select all components or groups which match your search criteria.

The selection is preformed on the top-level, (or Active), entities only.

  • Match Case - if not selected then upper and lower case letters will be treated as the same during the search.
  • Search Pattern - Items will be selected if the search phrase appears anywhere in the attribute value.
You do not need to enter a %, *, or other wild-card character.
Searches are alpha numeric only, you cannot search for things like Weight > 100 yet.
  • Select and Edit Instances - The entities are selected and the edit attribute Wizard is loaded.
If more than one entity is selected, then this will only work if some attributes are marked as "per entity".
See Edit Attributes
  • Select and Create Report - The entities are selected and a report is created for just the selected entities. Even if this is not a report you want for a final report, it is a quick way to see the attributes of the items selected.
  • Select Only' - The entities are selected.
