Filter There are several additional buttons on the system toolbar for controlling and quick adjustment of the selector settings. The and buttons are used to quickly allow/disallow selection of all types of elements. Main Concepts of System Operation The buttons with various element type symbols, such as the , , , , , , , and buttons in the 2D window, other in the 3D window, define the current set of the elements allowed for selection. The “pushed” icons correspond to the element types allowed for selection. Besides, one can quickly allow/disallow selection of the respective element types by pressing these buttons. Pressing any of these buttons toggles its setting to opposite. This allows or disallows selection of the respective element type in the selector settings. Pressing any of these buttons while holding the key down, turns on selection of exclusively the given element type. Selection of other element types simultaneously turns off. The same result can be achieved by double clicking the required button. Filter parameters can be set or modified either in the command-waiting mode or in the transparent mode within any command. Call the command using: Keyboard Textual Menu Icon “Edit|Filter…” Managing the filter involves setting one or more conditions on the parameters of the objects to be selected. The elements are disallowed for selection whose parameters do not satisfy any of the filter conditions. This is so even for elements allowed for selection by the selector. Calling the command brings up the filter parameters dialog box. 117
Fundamentals. Two-Dimensional Design 118 The current filter parameters, which are the currently active condition set, are displayed in the lower part of the dialog. This set consists of one or several conditions joined by Boolean “OR” operator. Thus, an element is allowed for selection if at least one of the conditions is satisfied among the current set. Each condition in a set is written out on a separate line. It consists of limitations on the element parameter values. The limitations are joined in a condition by Boolean “AND” operator. To satisfy a condition, the element must comply with all and any of the limitations thereof. To create a condition, use the main pane of the filter dialog box. This is a table of properties of all elements in the current document. To define a limitation on the value of some parameter, checkmark this parameter in the box before the parameter name in the table using . The limitation type for this parameter value will automatically appear in the “Operation” column, by default, “Equal”. If necessary, change the type by clicking on the type and selecting any other entry in the coming pull-down list, namely, “Not Equal”, “Greater”, “Less”, “In Interval”, “Out of Interval”, “Exists”. If the limitation type requires entering a value or values of the parameter, do this in the “Value” columns. Thus, for “Equal”, enter a value to compare against the element parameter value. Use the first “Value” column for this. For limitations requiring two values, as for “In Interval”, fill in both columns by entering the starting and the ending values of the interval. Once all limitations are defined, press the [Add] button. The just created condition will appear in the lower pane of the dialog box. If there was already a set of conditions at the time of the new condition creation, the latter becomes part of this set. When creating a condition, the parameter values can be read from a specific element. To do so, checkmark the necessary properties, and then press the [From Element] button. The dialog box will temporarily disappear from screen, making possible selection of the desired element in the drawing window using . Once an element is selected, the filter parameters dialog box comes back on screen. The checked parameter values will be the same as those of the selected element. To delete the current condition set or a part thereof, use the [Delete] button. To do so, first highlight with one or several conditions. Then press [Delete], and those will be deleted.
