Hello!
I use Qcad 2.2 for 1 year ago.
I draw roadmap for an association .
I'm very satisfied: Qcad is all I need: easy to understand, easy to use, complete, inexpensive, a great DAO software!

Nearly, I have a little question:

I would like to select entities according to their attribute / Type

Exemple : select all "doted" lines
or select all "green" lines
or select all Text...

with one clic only!

I begin to learn "qcad scripting", but i don't find that i need to do it!

It is possible?
May you help me? if you please!

I thing it would be a good tool - for me and for the future of Qcad

thanks!

ps: excuse my english...

If your drawing is structured well (i.e. you are using layers for entities with equal attributes) you can easily select all entities on one layer.

Yes,

But i convert much files imported in dxf from an other software (Cadkey -files are in ".ptn" - I don't use anymore this software )

After the conversion : one layer only, with no good colors (black become green, blue become yellow...), no good line... all attributes are lost!

so i must, to do a structured draw, select many entities and past it in a many news layers with goods atributes.It is not a problem,(i know how to import layers quickly) it's just this selection, it take much time!

Cadkey have this tool (selection according to attribute )

I just would like to know if it possible with Qcad.

Thanks you to your help!
