New Selection Filter tool in QCAD 3.4.4 pro

Post by Clive » Thu Dec 05, 2013 12:29 pm

I just want to say thank you for this amazing new 'Selection Filter' tool. I absolutely love it, it makes my life so so much easier :D .

Here's a little example, I am working on an 'Architectural' project for laser cutting some buildings out and I want to modify all splines on my 'Score' layer...ah ha, I know what to do I will use my new selection filter tool instead of my usual longer method...and hey presto all my splines on layer score are selected :wink:

Yep - you are right! This is a powerful tool.

Recently I used the selection filter to find in my drawing all my incorrect Radial Dimensions (my superficiality :wink: ).
I was looking to find only the ones with a missing "R" (Radial dimensions use an "R" followed by the value for the radius).

Ok - set up the Selection Filter - search/find/selected - change in the Property editor the Geometry/Label with the correct Value - done!
