Hey,
I am looking for a command that by clicking on one block it will freeze the entire program except for all the times this block appears, to see it prominently in relation to the program to see its distribution and the way it is divided
I hope I explained well

and Google translated well hahaha

[The command name is ISOLATEOBJECTS.]  But that will show the SELECTSIMILAR result only, and everything else will be invisible.  That's not what they want -- the context, but faded, is part of the idea.

 

@stavjan19989 , are these always on a common Layer, and is there nothing else on that Layer that you want featured?  It wouldn't be hard to write a routine that would use the Locked-layer Fading option, and temporarily lock all Layers except that of a selected object.  But it would be by entire Layers.  Would that do what you want?

Nobody seemed to demand "faded". It is enough to select all the blocks of the same name and they will be perfectly visible against the background of the rest of the drawing due to the usual illumination of the selected objects.
