Delete n number of instances of the same name from a shematic

Hi All,

         I am looking to find and delete n number of instances of the same name from a schematic cell view(for example i have 10,000 DCAP cells and I want to delete only 1000 of the them) is there any way to do it through the schematic find function or is it easier to write a skill code to do it. I could do that easily in the layout with the are option the search utility but I couldnt find similar utility in the schematic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In the Layout You can use the area option and select in an area, you cannot select n number of instances there though, but I found that layout search utility has more options than the schematic, but anyways I found a solution in the schematic. As you said thats interesting to know that layout find option works in the schematic window as well, I should have guessed that anyways thank you.
