: SELECT : Collect:ActivesShortcut
: NoneThis command gathers copies of all active objects of the same type as the target into a new element called ALL. This means that you can collect together either curves or surfaces dependant on the current target object type. Any existing element named ALL will be deleted. If you wish to avoid this, rename the old ALL element before executing this command.
The ALL element will automatically be made passive. This is to avoid drawing the same surfaces twice with commands like DISPLAYÞAll.
A useful application for this command is to gather all surfaces that make up a model together before converting them to a facetted model and writing it out to an STL file for rapid prototyping.
