    Problem

    How to select shapes using the Selectby Attributes command via key-in
    Need to be able to issue a keyin that automatically selects all the
    shapes in the file for a selection set. I need to be able to do this
    without the users intervention.

    Product: MicroStation V8 2004 Edition
    Version: 08.05.01.25
    Area: General

    Solution

    Here are the key-ins that will need to be used to select all of the
    shapes using the Selectby Attributes utility.

    mdl silentload SELECTBY dialog
    Selectby type nclear
    the types section so that there are none selected. The next command
    selects only the shapes in the file and then the execute command acts as
    selecting the execute button in the dialog box.

    If you open the Selectby at tributes dialog and then hit F1 this will
    bring up the Reference Guide documenation on the available

    Selectbyone
    Selectby type shape
    SELECTBY EXECUTE

    with these commands this will load the Selectby Attributes dialog,key-ins.
