To day we are doing designation and comments but these are strings that are not the actual designator and comments strings but extra ones for Assembly Documents. Yes I do the documentation but I do not like it need to check out Altium 16 features to see if this will improve the situation.
Usefull page:
Use Blog Page : pcb-filters
Altium Pages

This Query returns the String that are part of a component on the top no mater what layer they are on.:
"InComponentClass('Top Side Components') And IsComponentText"
But we are not there yet
This selects the Designators on the correct layer 'M8 Des T' which is the layer for the designators on the top.
"InComponentClass('Top Side Components') And IsComponentText And (StringText = '.Designator') And(Layer = 'M8 Des T')"
Now to select the ones on the wrong layers.
"InComponentClass('Top Side Components') And IsComponentText And (StringText = '.Designator') And(Layer <> 'M8 Des T')"
And this selected a number that were on 'M9 Des B' ie the layer for bottom layer Designators.

Was Using Altium to day and Consultant sent me PCB with no Visible Grids.
Searched for "altium pcb grid disappeared" but not any help.
Eventual Found that they Default Grid Color - Small / Large were both unchecked in the
View Configurations (Design->Board Layers & Colors...) (Short Cut L).

Answering my own Question
Altium "annotating compiled sheets" not working.
You need to Check the box "Sheet Number Parameter" in the "Schematic Print Properties"

Need to Rule to select the nets associated with a component.
so far only way to do this is to create a net class with nets of the component which is basically retarded.
