Fast Select
The Express Tools include two commands to create filtered selection sets.. FASTSELECT creates a selection set of objects that touch the object that you pick. You can create chains of objects to include objects that touch other touching objects. Choose Express➪Selection Tools➪Fast Select. GETSEL creates a selection of objects of the layer and object type that you select. Choose Express➪Selection Tools➪Get Selection Set.
Quick Select
As its name suggests, Quick Select is a quick, flexible, and simple way to create object selection filters. Use the FILTER command, which is covered in the following sections, to create more-complex filters or when you want to save filtering criteria for future use.
Start Quick Select in one of these ways:
✦ Choose Tools➪Quick Select.
✦ With no command active, right-click in the drawing area and choose Quick Select.
✦ Click the Quick Select button in the Properties palette.
✦ Type qselect ↵ on the command line.
