Is it possible to select all bodies filtered by a query in an assembly?

Hello all,

Is there by any change a way to select all the bodies in one selection in an assembly after a query by Bodies, without selecting every single body?

  • Open an assembly ;
  • Queries by Type = Bodies
  • All the bodies are filtered (in green)
  • Now, I want to select all bodies without selecting them induvidually. Is it possible?

Thank you

I did a quick test with the find command.  Depending on that number of individual bodies you are selecting, it may or may not be faster. You can set up a mapkey to pre-select all these options if it is something you do often.

Hi Stephen,

It was simple, I was focus in the model tree, I forgot the Find feature, the solution where somewhere else! And I create a mapkey :)

Thank you

Regards

One can also Create a Layer → Layer Properties → Edit Rules.

Define the rules and save.

With this all-future bodies that satisfy the conditions defined using “Rules” would be automatically added to the layer.
