Find All Data Shortcuts with a .NET API

Is it possible to find all Data Shortcuts in the document?
I would like to get a list of all Data Shortcuts that includes Alignments, Surfaces, Pipe Networks, Pressure Networks and Corridors.

I know I can go group by group and traverse all entities in a group to find out which are references, like the below example for Surfaces.

Editor _ed = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor; CivilDocument _civilDoc = CivilApplication.ActiveDocument; Database _db = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database; var surfaceIds = _civilDoc.GetSurfaceIds(); using (var tr = _db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { foreach (ObjectId surfaceId in surfaceIds) { var surf = tr.GetObject(surfaceId, OpenMode.ForRead) as Entity; if (surf.IsReferenceObject) { var dsInfo = surf.GetReferenceInfo(); _ed.WriteMessage("IsSourceDrawingExistent: " + dsInfo.IsSourceDrawingExistent + "\n"); _ed.WriteMessage("SourceDrawing: " + dsInfo.SourceDrawing + "\n"); _ed.WriteMessage("HandleHigh: " + dsInfo.HandleHigh + "\n"); _ed.WriteMessage("HandleLow: " + dsInfo.HandleLow + "\n"); _ed.WriteMessage("Type: " + dsInfo.Type + "\n"); } } tr.Commit(); }

But this does not feel very efficient.

Is there a better way?

Was this resolved? Using better terms may help. DS Referenced objects are DREF's or Data References. Hoping to get all DREF's from a DWG DB in one step instead of iterating Object ID Collections, one by one.

@tipitasa

maybe this help you

code python

import sys import clr clr.AddReference('AeccDbMgd') clr.AddReference('AeccDataShortcutMgd') from Autodesk.Civil.DataShortcuts import * from Autodesk.Civil.DataShortcuts import DataShortcutEntityType vals = DataShortcuts.CreateDataShortcutManager(True) dsm = vals[0] c = dsm.GetPublishedItemsCount() o = [] for i in range(c): p = dsm.GetPublishedItemAt(i) #pq = dsm.GetParentItemIndex(1) #o.append([p]) if p.DSEntityType == DataShortcutEntityType.Alignment or p.DSEntityType == DataShortcutEntityType.Surface or p.DSEntityType == DataShortcutEntityType.PipeNetwork: o.append([p.Name , p.DSEntityType ]) #o.append([p.Name , p.DSEntityType ]) OUT = o
