Find Object by Stroke Width

Postby RSBend » Tue Mar 30, 2010 3:08 am

Is it possible to select all objects in a drawing by stroke width? I have tried using the find command and putting the stroke with in the attribute box. But nothing is selected. Perhaps I don't have the correct syntax.

Thanks.

yes it is possible:

the stroke width changes internally once you scaled or transformed a path or object.

In order to get the absolute value to search for:

1. select the type of path that you are looking for
2. open XML Editor (Shift+ctrl+L)
3. in attribut style you find the entry "stroke-width:0.25", copy it an paste it into the find dialog "style"

Thanks, that did the trick. I was trying to use the attribute field rather than the style field.
