Title: ISOLATE BY COLOR
Post by: jwisherd on December 01, 2004, 12:56:14 PM

In my office we often get drawings from others that have various lines on layer " A" or "B" that have colors changed (Which I know is a pet peeve to everyone). I was thinking that in some cases it would be really advantagus to be able to isolate all objects (reguardless of layer) by color. So you could see all objects that are red, and all others would disappear. Or all colors other than red would be locked, and only red objects could be selected. Now I know this is probably impossible, but if anyone knows of a tool, or a way to "select all objects of the same color - reguardless of layer) this could be an amazing tool. I know this is sorta a half cocked rant, but I'm just brainstormin.

It could be done, but I don't have one right at this moment. I'm sure someone has one that can post it for you

You could use filter as well.
