Need "Entity Naming and Filter with Entity Name" Feature in Pure Autocad

Dear Experts in Autocad,

Dear Experts in Computational Geometry,

In Autocad , We can assign names to blocks. We want to avoid using blocks for every entity to store names and to retrieve on the fly with block names. 

dbconnect and xdata features dont help too much when there are very large numbers of mathematically meaningful entities.

Thank you again for such a fantastic product. We want to achieve Dynamic Geometry System (DGS) with Autocad and API for Autocad Pure Construction protocols. It is very much necessary now .So we need "Entity Naming and Filter with Entity Name" Feature in Pure Autocad to implement Proof engine and Automated Theorems Generation in pure Autocad without too much dependency on dbconnect.Instead we need Filter with Entity names directly in Autocad such that we can get that (see that in Property window(CTRL+1)

 

 

 

References for requirements

We are making Automated Synthetic proof engine for any kind of Trigonometric Expressions entirely pictorially.In the process we need to move to and from several entities in the drawing , selecting these objects on the fly directly from their names. Until unique Addressing for Autocad Entities

 

Theory and the Algorithms are here . We have addressed this in Sanjoy Nath's Geometrifying Trigonometry(C) each line segments and points (Autocad Entity) , We have addressed every points and line segments to concerned Trigonometric expressions such that we can generate theorems on the fly and can generate scenarios. Right now we are doing that with excessive use of dbconnect. It hangs due to excessive external calls and RPC

reference of successful implementations on Autocad AutoLisp. In the Videos you can see that there are Thousands of line segments(We will extend that to millions for Θ -> 0 for Θ=  π/n where n-> ∞

Hi,

 

>> dbconnect and xdata features dont help too much when there are very

>> large numbers of mathematically meaningful entities.

You can add XRecords/Dictionaries to each entity in AutoCAD (>>>details<<<)
