At work, I have illustrator 13 (a.k.a. CS3 but the whole CS concept has been developed like a bad joke) and I'm given lots of images from engineers that I have to edit for manuals. The entire image is of a machine the size of a small house, and yet the drawing contains every detail of the head of a bolt, for every bolt. No one will even see the light pixel for the bolt on their screen that is made from 30 lines. I need a way to select objects or lines that are less than a certain length so I can delete them in one key stroke. Instead, I have to click, delete, click, delete a thousand times. It can take me 2 days for this. If I'm lucky, I can click + drag an area, but that usually then involves shift clicking all the surrounding things I don't want selected after. One simple feature would save me 2 days of work.

I want a dialog box that lets me choose between selecting objects and or lines that are greater than or less than or equal to a length, and I can pick between points, picas, inches, feet, millimeters, centimeters, meters, or pixels.

And even more cool, would be if a plug in was made of this for AI 13 instead of making me buy another version. Despite the 2 days of work it'll save me, convincing a corporation to spend hundreds of dollars for 1 feature will be a tough sell.
