Greeting,

 

Happy new year. I know someone might have asked this question. I just want to ask it again to see if I could get some helps.

 

I would like to select all block references that names contain "*U". Do you know if there is a command for this or a slip that I can use?

Appreciate your help in advance. A sample file is attached.

They're anonymous blocks, you could try the Filter command and put in "*u*" as the filter, but it will select block names with wildcards before and after the U in any block name.

 

Or

 

Try selecting the one block, then right click and say "Select Similar"? That might work?

Use AutoCAD's built-in FILTER command

Under Select Filter: drop down list choose Block Name

in the edit box enter: `*U*
