match the chosen criteria will remain selected when the OK button is pressed. For example, you could
use all the options available on the Select ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab to select a group of
objects on the oneline. Then using the Select by Criteria Dialog, choose the Bus criteria and check Use
as a filter on presently selected objects to select only the buses from the rectangular selected
group of objects.
Once you have selected the criteria and pressed OK, all objects that satisfy ALL the criteria will be
chosen. If the Select All Except What Meets the Above Criteria is unchecked, then the selected objects
will lie within the specified areas AND zones, the specified voltage level, and the specified zoom levels,
and will be of one of the drawing types specified.
You can save your settings for your Select by Criteria session with the case by clicking Save As to
save with a new name or Save to save with the current name. This allows you to re-open the Select
by Criteria dialog, and quickly recover settings you may have previously used. Use the Rename to
rename an already saved set, or Delete to remove a previously saved set of criteria.
If you have saved different criteria sets, you can export them all to an Auxiliary file by choosing Save
to AUX file. The Load All from AUX file will load an entire auxiliary file, regardless of whether it
contains Select by Criteria settings or not.
If you wish to clear all settings you have modified on the dialog, click the Reset to Defaults button.
Using this dialog in conjunction with the Format Selection Dialog, can be a very fast and easy way to
customize your displays.
NOTE: When choosing to select all tie lines, all objects associated with the tie line will also be selected.
This includes all line fields for the line as well as the two buses that are the endpoints of the line.
