Allows you to set additional filter definitions for loop numbers that appear in the Loops folder of the current Explorer window. You can select one or more CAD drawing blocks and only display those loops that contain the selected blocks as associated sub-items.
Filter loops according to blocks
Blocks associated with tags — Displays CAD drawing blocks that are associated with loop tags. After you select one or more blocks, in the Loops folder of the current Explorer window, the software only displays loops whose blocks are associated with the tags using the block-tag assignment method.
Blocks associated with instrument types — Displays CAD drawing blocks that are associated with the instrument type of the loop tags. After you select these blocks, in the Loops folder of the current Explorer window, the software only displays loops whose blocks are associated with the tags using the block-instrument type assignment method.
