The Select Same tool is used to select entities based on shape, color, font, layer, type attributes.

interesting method - isn't it much the same as "select mask"? maybe both methods could be merged.
perhaps a bug: when selecting "same entity type", locked objects are included in that selection. this can cause funny results when batch changing the whole selection in inspector. every object becomes locked.
after a click in empty space the selection appears "unselected", but is still active!

>interesting method - isn't it much the same as "select mask"? maybe both methods could be merged. The issue I have with Select Mask is that the large dialog box seems cumbersome and disruptive to the work flow. >>perhaps a bug: when selecting "same entity type", locked objects are included in that selection. Yes, this is a bug. Locked objects should not be included in the selection set. Fixing now... >>after a click in empty space the selection appears "unselected", but is still active! Checking.... Thanks for the feedback! Tim

lasso select seems to select locked as well. with lasso select a selected object do not show inspector attributes immediately. a separate click in inspector is needed
btw, in context menu an "unlock" command would be helpful
