The H-Factor

AutoCAD 2013 introduced a new feature – Select Similar. It does just what it sounds like:

1. Pick an object (line, head, riser nipple, whatever) and right-click

2. Pick Select Similar from the menu that appears

You can now do whatever you like with this selection set. You could Move it, Copy it or change its Properties by opening up the properties box (Ctrl+1) if not already open!

If you want to control which characteristics are applied, then type in SELECTSIMILAR at the command prompt and type in SE (SEttings) to bring up the box of choices.
