Keyboard shortcut for quickselect or filter option?

[Anonymous]

When doing elevation drawings, I often have to select all tile I've drawn from a drawing and rearrange it, copy to a new elevation, and so on. 

I found the Quick Select and Filter commands and this does what I need. Now, can I make a keyboard shortcut so I don't have to go to first Filter and then choose which filter I need?

Thank you!!

Hi @Anonymous, 

You can create keyboard shortcuts from CUI (see image), even create shortcut for Action Recorder when it is a series of repetitive commands.

But it would not make sense to create shortcut for a command as a filter to which you can create an alias, creating a new one in the pgp file, for example LL for LAYDEL, and not going through the keyboard side by side because of the location of the letters.

I will be attentive to your comments.

Hello @Anonymous, 

I will move this post to proper board for you. 

It seems you are trying to create a customized command. You will have to formulate a string of commands or customized commands, such as an AutoLISP routine, ObjectARX command, a VBA macro, or a script.

Here is a list of AutoLISP programming language.

You can use ALIASEDIT to add your alias to the acad.pgp file.

QSELECT is the command name for the Filter Dialog.

Good luck,

The filter command is one of those that you struggle to run as a command line etc or lisp, but you can make selection shortcuts using lisp defuns that can be called, Basically you use ssget and its filter capability, I just posted today another answer else where.
