How to select shapes using the Selectby Attributes command via key-in
Need to be able to issue a keyin that automatically selects all the
shapes in the file for a selection set. I need to be able to do this
without the users intervention.

Solution

Here are the key-ins that will need to be used to select all of the
shapes using the Selectby Attributes utility.

mdl silentload SELECTBY dialog
Selectby type nclear
the types section so that there are none selected. The next command
selects only the shapes in the file and then the execute command acts as
selecting the execute button in the dialog box.

If you open the Selectby at tributes dialog and then hit F1 this will
bring up the Reference Guide documenation on the available

Selectbyone
Selectby type shape
SELECTBY EXECUTE

with these commands this will load the Selectby Attributes dialog,key-ins.
