Latest find & select settings

Somethings up with the wish forum, so posting this here as someone might know if this exist. 

 

I wonder if there is a way to reselect the last find & select settings I used?

 

Let's say I spend 10 minutes filtering trough the find & select criterias to select certain elements, and by misstake i deleted it all. Do i have to redo all the work with find and select? 
The reason for not saving the criterias in this case would be that i'm adding criterias through out the process. And syringed a fill without closing find and select first 😛

Hi @Frillex,

 

AFAIK there’s no way to recall the last used criteria for F&S window otherwise you saved it.

 

For this reason, I use Selections palette to save all selected elements resulting from some F&S operations into one selection then recall them faster.

You can store your criteria set for use again at a later time.

You can even export them to an external file and then import them into any other file.

I know this, I was more wishing for some kind of history or something like that.

No, unfortunately it doesn't retain a history of the settings you have been making.

Once you have the ones you want, you must manually store them so they can be re-used.

Shame, would have been nice, find & select could use an upgrade..
