dialog selectby: opens the main SelectBy dialog

selectby clear: clears the current selection

selectby execute: runs the Selectby tool with the current selection criteria.

selectby element: enables creation of a selection based on a currently selected element.

The attributes that can be used by this command are controlled by this dialog that opens when 'selectby element' is keyed-in:

The selection can be toggled by selectby element all/none.

To set for levels only key-in: selectby element none; selectby element level

Thank you to Tom Danner for the following key-in sequences that work with selectby element:

First select a single element in file, then run one of following keyins (note if an element is not selected before running keyin it will select all elements):

1. This key-in string will select all elements that match selected element completely

mdl load selectby; selectby element all; selectby execute; selectby type none; mdl unload selectby

2. This key-in string will select all elements that match element's level only

mdl load selectby; selectby element none; selectby element level; selectby execute; selectby type none; mdl unload selectby

Selection criteria key-ins:
