Microstation Tip: Element Selection

Here is a Microstation quick tip on selecting multiple objects by Element Type, Bylevel, Bycolor, Linestyle or Lineweight!

This is a very useful tool if you need to quickly select multiple objects to delete them, move them or take them into a Autocad file.

First, expand the Element selection dialog box using the arrow at the bottom.

Next, you should see the various tabs you have at your disposal to use to select multiple elements!




Once you have selected a Level, or Element Type all the objects on that level or that element type should instantly be selected on your screen! It is that easy.

Now for those of you familiar with Autocad this is very similar to the Quick Select tool found in the Properties dialog box of Autocad.
