I can use PowerSelector keyins to almost create a selection of all text elements. Text, text nodes and dimensions are available. However, notes are not available so I cant select notes text as well. Is there any other keyin or macro that might be available to also select notes, or to select all text elements?

...I thought maybe I could use the "Exclusive" mode SelectBy Attributes and then I discovered that Notes are selected as cells.
Grouped Holes are also treated as cells when using Select By Attriutes. Which sucks like a tornado.

That's because a Grouped Hole is a cell, albeit an anonymous cell. But coders can distinguish a Grouped Hole from other elements, so it's reasonable to expect that Select By could do the same.
Why not post that suggestion to the Ideas Forum?

Why not post that also to the Ideas Forum?

This is a suggested work around for future work flow, create a dim style and text style specifically for notes and define in these a specific named level reserved only for notes then you can always select by the level name...I havent had a chance to test his if it works all the time but it seems logical approach... Meanwhile for your present senario I think a custom VBA might be the only way.... there may also be a way to create the selection by item type selection query... I'll have to go consult my notes and do some tests.. .I will get back to you if it pans out...
