How to select lines of a given length?

If you want to select only lines of a given length from your drawing, you can use the LISP utility FilterLL.

This tool prompts for the shortest and longest length. From the selected lines (LINE objects) it then filters the individual objects so that only those matching the given length interval remain selected.

You can download the FilterLL.lsp application from www.cadstudio.cz/download, load it with APPLOAD and run it with the FilterLL command. You can use grip-editing on the selected lines or use the pre-selection in AutoCAD editing commands.
