Find Similar – 06

Find similar is another really handy tool for making global edits to primitives. All you have to do is “Right Click” on the object you would like to find more of or edit and choose “Find Similar” from the pop up menu. Alternately you can go to “Edit” then “Find Similar” or press “E” then  “N” or “SHIFT+F”. You will then be presented with a dialogue box as pictured.

From here you can tighten your parameters and make sure you select just the thing you are after. Also at the bottom there are option for how your results will be viewed and also has a run inspector check box which if checked will pop up the PCB Inspector window so you can make your edits straight away.
