#### ID Wild Cards

Use ID Wild Cards to refer to a set of similarly named features. The two wild card characters are "*" and "?". (See "Selecting Features Using Meta-character matching" in the "Editing the CAD Display" section for additional information.)

The asterisk ‘*’ character is used to refer to 0 or more instances of any character. To refer to the set of all feature that start with the letters "CIR", use the expression ID "CIR*". This syntax will create a set of features that include all features with Ids that with "CIR", such as "CIRCLE1", "CIRCLE2", "CIR3", or "CIR".

Note: If CIR3 has several executions only the most recent measurement is used. To get the different instances of the executions, the following expression could be used: CIR?[1..3]

The question mark ‘?’ character is used to refer to a single instance of any character.

Example: The ID expression "MY???1" would create a set of features that are six characters long, begin with "MY" and end with "1", such as "MYCIR1", "MYCON1", "MYLIN1", or "MYFT21".
