Scans and lists all objects by type(with count) in the work part. The list can be filtered by layer, view dependency, show/hide status, and name.

Filter Settings

Criteria that controls how the work is scanned for objects.

Scan Layers

This option allows you to specify that only objects belonging to certain layers should be listed. To specify a single layer, choose "Range of Layers" and enter the same number for From and To.

View Dependency

Specify only objects that are view dependent (drafting objects are view dependent by default).

Ignore Dependency

Both view dependent and non view dependent objects will be listed.

Dependent in Any View

Only view dependent objects will be listed, no matter what view they belong to.  

Dependent in Specific View    

For this option, you must enter or choose a view name.  Only objects that are view dependent in the specified view will be listed.  You may type the view name or select the "Choose" button to choose a view from a list.

Show/Hide Status

Choose whether to list objects based on show/hide status.

Name Filter

This option allows you to enter a search string for named objects. If you enter a string here, then only objects with names that contain that search string will be listed. The '*' can be used as a wildcard.

Apply Filter Settings

Update the object list using the current filter settings.

Objects

Lists all the object types found in the work part that matched the filter setttings. The number of objects of the object preceeds the type name in the list entry. Selecting an object will enable the operation buttons beneath the list.

Information on Objects

Displays information on all the objects of the selected type in the listing window. The operation behaves exactly like the Information->Object command.

Delete Objects

This option deletes all of the selected objects. Some object types cannot be deleted this way.

Hide/Show Objects

Hide or show all the selected objects.

Move to Work Layer

Moves the selected objects to the current work layer. The work layer can be changed using Format->Layer Settings or the utility toolbar without leaving the dialog.

Assign Indexed Names to Objects

Assigns sequential names to the selected objects. Enter a Name and a Initial Index in the Indexed Name Settings before clicking the button.
