qselect of a dimension style

[itacad]

Hi, I can't perform an operation that I consider trivial and that is a quick selection of all the dimensions with the same dimension style.
For this type of operation there is the qselect command, but it doesn't seem to work
In the "object type" menu it offers "rotated dimension" and not a simple and banal dimension and by choosing "rotated dimension" I am unable to select any object

 

Thanks for any suggestions

Here's a potential solution. It's a little clunky, but it worked for me.

 

Use the FILTER command. In the "select filter" pane, choose "dimensions" then "Add to List". Press the "Apply" button. You're asked to select objects. You can use any legitimate option, such as a window, "ALL", or whatever you prefer. Because of the filter, though, you only select the dimensions.

 

You have the option to add "dimension style" to your filter. That may allow you to do what you want.

 

If filtering doesn't work, someone may be able to whip up a quick LISP function for you. In fact, Lee Mac has probably already written it.

Thanks, I know the filters and I use them, they are very powerful so I knew this solution but I was thinking I was doing something wrong with qselect

Well, if it's any consolation, something similar happened to me. I selected one dimension, but when I used Select Similar, I got zero results. Apparently, dimensions aren't even similar to themselves. Even a dynamic block is similar to itself.

I drew 3 dims HOR, VER & Aligned if you look at dxf code 3 = dimension style but multiple 100 codes the ver & hor were AcDbRotatedDimension" but the aligned was "AcDbAlignedDimension" so could do a lisp defun that has specific dimension properties and makes a selection set matching.
