Is there a Filter command in NanoCad? Similar to AutoCad where entities can be filtered by layer, color, etc... While using other commands such as Erase, Move or Copy.

Hello,
there is no Filter command, but you can use Quick Selection dialog (QS command) to select the objects with desired parameters.

Is there how to "quick select" as you said, (once there is no filter) by text content?
Is there "select similar" in NanoCAD as have in AutoCAD?

Yeah, Quick Select is able to find objects with the same type and with needed text content in it.
You can read more about it in Help, wich is located in the left bottom side of "Quick select dialog" window.
For example:
- you have some Text objects and you need to find ones with "someText" content.
- call QS in opened drawing.
- in Object menu select type = MText (it suggests only objects that exists in the drawing).
- then in "Expression type" column in cell after "Contents" above MText select "Like" and in column "Value" select "someText" (it is possible, if this text is really exists in MText in this drawing).
- click OK and that's it, MText objects, contains "someText" are selected.
