Select by Linetype
I use Rhino to do a lot of 2D drafting work. To be able to select all objects by linetype (like selcolor command), seems like such a simple command to have, but I have not found it. I would love if it Rhino 5.0 could have this added.

Hi Shawn,
Thanks for suggesting this. I honestly thought it was there, because I use this script.
But in the absence of a "sellinetype" command, you can select by linetype with this Rhino script:
https://github.com/dalefugier/RhinoScriptSamples/blob/master/SelLin...
- Copy the file SelLinetype.rvb into a folder on your machine where it will remain. (I make a RhinoScript folder on the desktop.)
- Open Rhino.
- Drag and drop the “SelLinetype.rvb” from the folder on to the Rhino. (the first time you do this you, it will register the command for autoload, and the commands name as “SelLinetype” for future Rhino session.)
- Type SelLinetype
I have also made a request for this to be added to core Rhino. However, that will likely be Rhino 6.
Let us know if this works for you.

Thanks for advice above. The SelLinetype function works great and is saving me loads of time!
There are a number of other very useful functions you have in that .zip download. However, I cant seem to get the other .rvb files to load, either by dragging them to Rhino, or by using LoadScript. Do they perhaps not work in V5 yet? or is there another trick I could try to get them loaded?

Hi Shawn,
Happy that you found the SelLinetype script useful.
As the description says on github, this is "a plethora of RhinoScript samples."
Information on scripting is available here: http://wiki.mcneel.com/developer/rhinoscript
And support for Scripting is accessed on the Developer Newsgroup. You will find a link on the RhinoScript page.
Can you give me the name of the scripts that you are testing and do not load in Rhino 5?
I would appreciate that.
Sincerely,
