How to Overcome the FIND Command Limitations
How to Overcome the FIND Command Limitations
We know very well that the FIND command is doing a pretty good service by helping us to find various types of text objects inside the drawing such as single line text, multiline text, block attribute values, table text, dimension annotation text and hyperlink text. It will be too much to ask for, if we wish to add something else in the list. Here is a tricky way to find the other categories of text such as block attribute definition, RText etc. which can not be located using the FIND command.
Open the Quick Select dialog box using the QSELECT command. Select the Attribute entry in the Object type drop down list. Next, select the Tag entry inside the properties list. Now choose the appropriate operator and provide the attribute tag name in the Value Text box. The specific attibute definition will be selected on clicking OK button. Type ZOOM (normal shortcut - z) and Object (Normal Shortcut - o) to zoom to the selected attribute definition.
Use the same procedure with Object type RText and Property Contents to locate an RText object.
