Creating a Property Filter
A property filter contains layers that meet filter criteria that you specify for
the group. Filter criteria can include layers according to layer states (on/off,
frozen/thawed, locked/unlocked), properties, or names. For example, you can
create a property filter that includes all of the red layers in the current drawing.
Creating Property Filters
Use this procedure to create property filters. You can specify more than one
filter for a group. For example, you can filter by both layer name and status
in order to group all frozen walls layers.
You can also specify more than one set of criteria for a property filter. For
example, you can create a filter that will include all frozen red layers and all
frozen blue layers. Boolean AND/OR logic is applied to the filter definitions
to determine which layers to include. A layer must meet all the criteria in a
single row in order to be included in the filter. Continuing with the example,
a layer must be frozen and red to be in the filter. Multiple rows offer alternative
