Hi everyone,
I am currenty dealing with a question for a project I am working on. I have a complex building, in which all rooms are described by a tag. The tag is a block which contains as attributes several kinds of information about that room (height, finishing, etc.). One attribute is the surface of the room, which is linked to a polyline by a field (if the polyline changes, the surface attribute changes consequently.
Now, basing on the fact that there is a correlation between my block containing the attributes and the polyline (the correlation is given by the surface field), I would like to select polylines in my drawing basing on specific values in my attributes block. Example: I want to select all the polylines which are linked to the blocks containing as an attribute the text "1.1.1.1.1", or the polylines linked to a block containing as an attribute the text "library".
This would save me loads of time to generate some specific drawings.
Despite not finding anything looking around, I am sure I am not the first person having this question, thus I hope a solution is already available! Any help would be highly appreciated.
