List Setup Ehnhancement

List Setup Ehnhancement

For those who don't know, the list setup feature dynamically changes the DXF code a Fabrication object will provide through (entget). While the same information could be obtained through other means, the speed associated with DXF is substantially better than the VLA-Object & Scripting options. In addition to speed, DXF is the only means to data mine large amounts of quality information from multiple dwg's using ObjectDBX.

 

These VLA properties need to be available in the List Setup. All but the midpoint is accessible through scripting, but I list them under VLA because it is still faster than scripting:

Service

Status

Midpoint (when applicable)

 

These Scripting exclusive properties need to be made available through List Setup:

DatabaseID

Service Type

Full ITM Path

Update:

 

I also want/need access to "OPTION" values through list setup. It would be very helpful with regards to determining the natural flow (Inlet & Outlet) of a given item.
