Hi Cory, welcome back.
Anyway I don't have 2011 either, but in 2010 select sim will filter by AEC object style. It won't filter by object size. So if you have a different object style for each different type and size of door, you should be able to use the select sim.

Cheers David!! I think they may have changed thing cause now when i go SS on a specific window style to check if it is the only one in the drawing it selects all my windows!!! So fustrating, its the kinda thing that would make me go back to 2011, well apart from a few other VERY annoying things lol

AH! Figured it out, they have split the old selectsimilar into 2 commands... selectsimilar & aecselectsimilar... Now i have to go round and change all my lisps grrr least its sorted lol

Cory,

Great pics. Is the Z06 yours? Great color.

Love the dash pic. I may have a new desktop photo (with your permission of course)

ACA related, thanks for posting your solution. I'm sure you helped someone who has been dealing with the same issue.

Hope you can continue posting.

Good luck with that :). Just two suggestions - don't do it in Lisp and definately don't do it for ACA :)

They added SelectSimilar to AutoCAD, so I guess they had to make the ACA version AecSelectSimilar. They horned in on object isolation and add selected, too.
