Use a VBA SelectionSet to select orthogonal line?

[Anonymous]

Curious if anyone know of a way to use the VBA SelectionSet to only select orhogonal lines. I know it's possible using the FILTER command and the "Normal Vector" property. But I want to be able to do it in the code.

Perhaps there is a way to access the FILTER command programtically?

Thanks!

I stand corrected. The Normal Vector property will let me select straight lines. Not nexxessarily orhogonal lines.

Start Pseudocode:

for each item in current layout
if item is a line then
if item.angle is 0, 90, 180, or 270 then
add line to selection set
End if
End if
next

End pseudocode

Thanks! Slapping myself for not thinking about the angle property. I was trying to filter everything out on the front end rather than just doing it on the backend (or adding them to the selection set in this case).
