come on guys!!! its a usefull tool! please bring it back!
I don't have access to A4M, but I wonder if the FILTER command is available?
Nope. There is no FILTER command either. I also want the QSELECT command implemented.

I suppose potential A4M buyers should study that list (and this forum in general) before purchasing.
You never realize how important quick select is until you don't have. I CANNOT work in CAD without it!! Please add it!
Hi,
As workaround you can try my Lisp routine:
Quick Select For Autocad For Mac
I use it daily, it works fast enough (of course, it doesn't have as many options as QSELECT or FILTER, but anyway...)

Maxim, i downloaded your fas file, but i cant install in autodesk folder, i have mountain lion ACAD 2013, when answer app dont let select anyone. I realy apreciated your help.
Hi,
You don't need to put the .FAS file to Autodesk folder.
You can put it anywhere in your Home folder (I created special "AutoCAD Support" folder in my home folder for such applications).
Did you managed to load Lisp routine with APPLOAD command?
What do you mean:
"when answer app dont let select anyone"?
EDIT:
I've read your comment on macadad, and now I understand your problem.
After downloading Lisp program - put it some where in Home folder (as mentioned earlier), hen in APPLOAD dialog navigate ti this folder, select file and pick "Load" button.
Close APPLOAD dialog and use SSS command.
Maxim
the point is..
why mac version has such reduced features?
why we have to find alternative routes to use a command, that actually is one of the most used in autocad?
no qselect, no bbedit, no ctb... there will be years to have autocad mac at least comparable to autocad pc. i'll keep working on my MVfusion.

What do you mean by "bbedit"? If BEDIT - it is in AC for Mac since 2011 version.
"no ctb" - ? Plot Style editor is a feature since 2012 version

AutoCAD didn't get to where it is on the PC in three years either. Reduced instruction sets allows the developers to concentrate on knocking out the problems with a limited set of possibilities, while getting acclimated to the Mac development environment, and accomodating for release schedules of new OS's (not building a house on shifting sands, as it were).
i'm using CAD 2006 since as far i know, is the latest one that allow to have block modification in place and in the block edit; in 2 separetes comands.
well, if they take all this time to "acclimate" we probably see the new generation of touch computer before to have a fully functional CAD for mac.....
You're kidding, right? Have you used AutoCAD WS (their mobile version)? In comparison, AutoCAD for PC is like driving a Cadillac, AutoCAD for Mac is like driving a midsize car, and using AutoCAD WS, which was released a year before the mac version, is like riding a bicycle with a flat tire. The first two can be used at highway (production) speeds, while WS is really only good for viewing/notating drawings out of office. At this point WS is worse than R12.
My workaround for not having quickselect is being really careful about adherence to the NCS. So long as my drawing is "clean", I don't really need qselect. It would still be nice to have and I'm a lot happier with the Mac 2013 version than I was the 2011 version.
