Is there a way to select all the elements in a specific view.  The Select All Instances chooses every element in your file.  There a time were I have multiply elements on one level that needs to change.  It would be nice to be able to grab them all quickly and change them.  I know with object you can Isolate Category and grab them all that way.  But with annotation you cannot always do that. Specifically I am talking about Room Tags.  I like to be able to change my room tag to show area when I am working but then I need to change them to just show the room number when I am done.  Well if I Select All Instances it changes the Room Tags in my presentation views that just say the room name.  So Right now I have to select each tag individually and change them and that is annoying when you have lots of rooms.  If I try Isolate Category it isolates the room and not the tag.  

Back to my original question is there a way to only Select All Instances in view only.

Thanks for the help

select all the elements and then use the filter button in the options bar to remove un-wanted elements
