Find the Smallest

Search the minimum size object among targets on a layer.

Target objects should have special properties.

Checking: Check the smallest object in a specific layer.
- Item: Specify the item name.
- Check Layer: Upon double-clicking the column, select the target layer from the layer list.
- Attribute (Option): Upon double-clicking the column, select target object property. Objects having selected properties can be target objects.
