Defining attributes, attribute filter

In the Attribute Filter dialog box, you can define any attributes according to which the filter is to be applied.

You have the following options:

• Buttons in the top border of the dialog box:
  This is where you add new attributes to the filter or remove attributes.
  Assign new attribute
  Remove attribute
  

  • Click anywhere in the column in the middle (attribute type) with the right mouse button. On the shortcut menu, click Remove attribute.
    Or
    Click Remove attribute at top right.
• Column on the left:
  You can specify which attribute is used for the filter by enabling or disabling the check box. Attributes you have disabled are not deleted; you can select them again.
• Column in the middle:
  The attribute type and its format (as an icon) are displayed.
  Right-clicking in this column opens a shortcut menu. You can choose between Assign new attribute and Remove attribute (DEL key).
• Column on the right:
  You can enter text or a value for the attribute.
• Buttons in the bottom border of the dialog box:
  Click for a list of all available attributes.
  Click to match the attributes of an existing element.

Note: You can use Save as favorite to save the attributes specified and Load favorite to read them back into the dialog box. This way, you can save all attribute assignments as favorite files and retrieve and, if you want, modify them later.
