Find and Select Lamp with Text in 2D

[Anonymous]

What criterion should come after the Lamp is selected in the Find and Select panel so you can find the lamp with "A" as text in 2D?

Unfortunately in Find & Select you can not use actual object parameters in the selection criteria.

However a work around would be to create a schedule that does this.
You can then select the objects in the schedule and press the 'select in 2D' or 'select in 3D' buttons.
You can also edit the parameter right there in the schedule if that is what you want to do.

Barry,

That was very clever. It worked just as well. Thank you.
