Hide workets by filter

[Anonymous]

Hello,

All our worksets name are grouped by discipline..(ex.P-SANR, E-Powr, M-Duct)...I want to use a filter to hide/show worksets but the "filter rules" for worksets really dont allow me just to select workets that begins with "P-*","M-*",

or "E-*".

I know I can use the workset tab in visibility graphics and "hide" the worksets but I'd like to use filters instead.

Any ideas?

Nothing you can do besides create a View Filter for each Workset, since there is no "Contains" qualifier. That's what the Worksets tab under V/G is intended for.

I was hoping there was a trick out there....I needed to hear that from somebody else....Thank you.

you can do. but what is the use of that.

you can create a filter by using "filter by" as workset and equals as filter name.then you can do with visibility on or off.

i thought that you need like this only.i was attached a jpg.

You're right - basically the Filter-by-Workset is for applying specific colors or other graphical overrides. What he was looking to accomplish was to be able to turn all Worksets that contain "M-", "P-", etc. on his elec plans, as well as do the same for the other disciplines. Not a bad thought.

harinarayana55,

CADastrophe is right...In this project we are working on there are a lot of pipe systems/type/name.

Mechanical guys come up with a new workset everyday. So when I open my plumbing views I see

a new workset that I have to turn off/hide. But with a filter that can hide all worksets that begin with

 "M-" will take care of all present & "future" worksets....

I have created filters that control multiple Categories at once for each discipline, such as "Lighting - Coordination", which can turn off or halftone non-discipline elements.

If you have three or fewer Worksets on your View, you can set is up as:

Workset

Does Not Equal

"Workset1"

AND

Workset

Does Not Equal

"Workset2"

AND

Workset

Does Not Equal

"Workset3"

This way, everything except for those three Worksets can be hidden.
