Select by colour for layer creation

Hi Everyone

I have drawings (DWGs) that have no layers but a mix of line colours. I wondered whether there is any such command in DraftSight where i can "Select By Colour" it some kind of feature that will allow me to pick up all "Magenta" lines so it selects them and therefore can be transferred to a new layer. I believe in AutoCAD the equivalent may be "Quick Select" and i am sure there was a feature in the old DWG/2D Editor that could do this as well.

Thanks in advance, Adam
