    Default Detect lines that are not absolute horizontal or vertical

    Summary: Quickly detect lines that are not perfectly horizontal or vertical

    Description: I woul like a utility or command for detect lines no absolutly horizontals or verticals.

    How Used: They are more drawings with lines incorrects (angle XY different of cero, 90, 180, 270 grads).

    This is true, but, the properties show up in different ways, so you might have to make a few selections for different object types, like lines would show up with start and end z elevations different, but, plines would show up as having an elevation, and some blocks, if created/imported wrong, have a basepoint at a '0' z elevation, but, might have entities that are above that... erm... I think...

    _.QSelect will very easily achieve this task in one single operation.
