[solved] Filter Only Within Selected Objects
Sometimes I need to run a filter within selected objects only. Is there a way to do this?
Currently when I run a filter command it operates on all of the entities displayed.

Re: Filter Only Within Selected Objects
The Selection Filter has 4 methods represented by icons:
- Replace Current
- Add
- Subtract
- Intersect
To filter within an existing selection one can use the Intersect method.
To filter out unwanted one uses the Subtract method.

No, unfortunately there is no way to do that. I would appreciate that option too ...
