I have been playing around with the arc connector and importing GIS information into a drawing by using feature lines. However, it does not place them on a layer. I was wondering if there is a way to filter feature lines by name and place it on layer.
But, I don't think I can select it.
Thanks for any input.

You can use Qselect, Featureline, by property Name, using Wildcard match,
-
Thanks Jeff for showing me that. That does help! The last question I have; is there a way to use this in a lisp type file?
-
This does, through lisp, what the Qselect does:
(defun featurelines_by_name
(name
/ ss idx ent fl newss
) idx -1)
)
)
)
)
newss
)
You would use it like so to find all featurelines with a name ending with "2":
(featurelines_by_name "*2")
-
I should note that it sets the Pickfirst selection set to the desired featurelines and returns that ss for use in the calling code if needed.

I think you are heading the direction I like to go with this.
Thanks again!!
