I just upgraded to Autocad 2009 from 2004. I went to use the "find & replace" command and noticed that the "select all" options was gone. I sued this a lot. Is there anyway to use the old "find & replace from 2004 in 2009? Thanks, Dusty |

There are other (standard) ways to select objects by their properties/contents - you can use QSELECT. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) https://www.linkedin.com/in/vmichl/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn , Autodesk Expert Elite |

With the old "find" it would allow me to select just a portion of the text value. For instance I have a dwg that has some text with the value "BFO60", "BFO24", "BFO12", ETC. With the old "find" command I would put in for the search the value of "BFO" and then pick "select all". It would then select all text that had "BFO" as part of its value. I could then see all the text that had "BFO" as part of its value. As far as I can tell you can't do that with 2009. Am I wrong? |

Yes, you can.
Use the mentioned QSELECT command, pick Text, Contents, Wildcards and enter "BFO*". ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) https://www.linkedin.com/in/vmichl/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn , Autodesk Expert Elite |

| Ok here is another example. The text value is "BFO12 LOOP", "BFO24 LOOP", "BFO48 LOOP", etc. I want to select all text that has "LOOP" in it. How do I do this? |

It is still the same - the wildcard string would be "*LOOP*" in this case. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) https://www.linkedin.com/in/vmichl/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn , Autodesk Expert Elite |
