Select multiple texts with many annotative scales

[hoanggiacf258]

I have texts with multiple annotative scales and need to filter and select only those matching a specific scale. Suppose I have a series of texts I want to move—I can manually grab the grip and move them, but with a large quantity, this becomes impractical.

I assumed that using SELECTIONANNODISPLAY would display only the annotative scale I intended to modify—such as 1:30—but when I moved the selected texts, those with other annotative scales changed simultaneously.

How can I select multiple texts and move them simultaneously without affecting the position of texts with a different annotation scale? I’ve tried using filter, quick select, and select similar, but none seem to allow selecting texts based on a specific annotation scale.

Thanks everyone!
