    Selecting shapes by shape attributes

    Background

    For example shapes (Shapefile, *.shp) imported from external sources can contain geo attributes / informations, which you want to use to search certain shapes with same attributes. MicroStation´s search functions like Select by attributes do not provide such possibility.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Select all polygons which are of interest for you.
    2. Start the dialog Item Sets in pulldown menu Utilities > Item Sets.
    3. Create a new Object Set.
    4. Add selected shapes with the 7th button from the left in the Item Set toolbar and confirm.
    5. With highlighted Object Set start the search using the binoculars button.
    6. In the search dialog you can specify with the Where - button what you want to search, for example 'type of use equal to forest', if shapes contain such attributes.

    The selection now can be isolated, selected and zoomed to.
