Searching dimension values

Anonymous

Is it possible to search a drawing for dimension values?  For example, in a drawing there are dimensions representing frame heights on multiple frames.  I would like to be able to search all dimensions for a specific length to find like frames.

Hi,

 

you can do that using command _QSELECT ... for object type as dimension (linear, rotated, whatever you are looking for) and the property "Measurement" with your value.

but you have to filter two times (because the problem of floating numbers)

 

for example, the dimension display the (not overwritten) dimension text 3.71

1. search for measurement higher than 3.7

2. search for measurement lower than 3.72

@Anonymous So you do not test unnecessarily:

FILTER command is good, but not for dimension "measurement" or 'textoverwrite" values.
FIND command is good for 'textoverwrite' values.

 

QSELECT is the only ootb way for measurement.
