"Select drawing file" dialog box

Allplan opens the Select drawing file dialog box when it expects you to select one or more drawing files (for the Hidden Line Image, Wireframe tool, for example).

You can select one or more drawing files in this dialog box. You can use the buttons at top left to define how the drawing files are sorted in this dialog box: by building structure, by object derived from the building structure (views, sections) or by drawing file/fileset structure. You can select drawing files by entering their numbers or names at the keyboard. The program selects the first drawing file that matches the entry you make. F3 takes you to the next drawing files that match the criteria you entered.

Selecting a superordinate level automatically selects all subordinate drawing files.

Note: The functions and options that are actually available to you depend on the tool from which you have accessed this dialog box.

Expand selected entries

Expands the view so that all sub-entries of the selected node are displayed.

Collapse All Entries

Hides all sub-entries.

Find

Opens the Find... dialog box you can use to find and replace names or parts of names of drawing files, filesets and structural levels.

Fileset structure

Sorts and displays drawing files by fileset. In addition, all available drawing files are displayed under All drawing files.

This parameter is only visible if the Show fileset structure option is active in the Settings of the Open on a project-specific basis: drawing files from fileset/building structure dialog box.
