Select all entities on a layer(s)

Use this function to quickly select everything on a particular layer, such as all the Stands or Gangway Dimensions.

This can be useful for quickly selecting and deleting all of your Stands or Gangway Dimensions (or anything else) etc, as explained below.

Selecting all entities by Layer

1

Select an entity(s) that is on the layer that you would like all the other entities to be selected. In the example below I have selected one Stand and one Gangway dimension (highlighted with a Blue square).

TIP: You can select multiple entities that are on different layers at the same time (press and hold CTRL to select multiple entities).

Now go to MODIFY > Select All (bottom half of button) > Select Layer as shown below.

2

All of the entities that are on the Stands and Gangway Dimensions layer are now selected as shown below.

You can now do what you wish with those entities, such as moving them or you can delete them by pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
