qball Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Acad 2010 Attached are two Mtext objects and a rectangle. If I highlight everything, Qselect, Mtext, Operator Wildcard match, Value [ * SLAB ], it only selects the text on the right. Why won't it select the one on the left? It contains the word "Slab". I need to be able to select all Mtext objects that contain the word "slab". TEXT.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder76 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Can you save that file to a lower version and repost? I only have 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Then type this instead, without the "[ ]" characters: *SLAB*Then you will grab any MTEXT with the word SLAB in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qball Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ryder: 2007 version attached Styk: it's confusing with quotes and brackets and asterix, etc. If I type SLAB it doesn't work If I type *SLAB* it doesn't work If I type *SLAB it only picks the one on the right TEXT.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzframpton Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Also, there's a good explanation of wildcard characters in the Help file, here is a screenshot, maybe this will clear it up a bit for you: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
