7.2.3.8. Select Same Type

This option allows you to select all objects that are the same type of object as one already selected. To use this option, select one or more objects and then choose the Select->Same Type option. All objects that are the same type as one of the previously selected objects will be added to the set of selected objects.

For example, if you want to select all of the Line objects on your diagram, select one Line object and then use Select->Same Type to select all other lines.

[Tip] Tip

The menu choice Select->Same Type can be combined with the menu choice Objects->Group to quickly change one or more properties of all objects of one type on your diagram. See Changing Properties for a Group of Objects for more information.

[Note] Note

The object type must match exactly. For example, a Line object and a Zigzagline object are different types.
