Groups

[Mikko]

Anybody got a few lines of code to create a group and add entities to it?

Thanks

Here you go:

public class GroupCreator
{
[CommandMethod("mygroup")]
public void DoIt()
{
Editor ed =
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
PromptSelectionResult res = ed.GetSelection();
if (res.Status != PromptStatus.OK)
return;
Database db =
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;
using (Transaction t = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
DBDictionary groupDict =
(DBDictionary)t.GetObject(db.GroupDictionaryId,OpenMode.ForWrite);
//create group
using (Group gr = new Group("This is Mikko's example
group",true))
{
groupDict.SetAt("Mikko",gr);
t.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(gr,true);
ObjectId[] ids = res.Value.GetObjectIds();
for (int i=0;i gr.Append(ids);
}
t.Commit();
}
}
}

Given a group is it possible to get all entities in that group via the GetAllEntityIds method of the Group object.

Is it possible the reverse? Given an entity is it possible to know in which group it belongs to?
