Navigation:  Job Editor Menu > Edit > Selection > Filter

The selection filter is an extremely useful tool used for controlling the content of Objects that can be selected prior to performing any modifications or queries.  The selection filter can be a major time saver as it parses out Objects that do not pass certain requirement that you set.

 

Note: For more information about object selection see Learn Guide: Viewing & Selection Basics
