Map (Enterprise/Topobase) - select features in drawing from multiple documents

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a drawing containing multiple documents ("industry models"). The user will select features in the drawing and I need to process them.

MapLogic.GetLinkInfo or MapLogic.SelectFeatures only work for one document.

Can anyone give me a hint how to get and process a selection of features from multiple documents?

Maybe you could require the user to specify a window or polygon boundary.  Then use that polygon as a spatial filter across multiple industry models.

Or, maybe you could use the Map API (not Topobase) to select features.  Return the data store and FID to get the features.  I haven't tried this.

Hi Drew,

many thanks for your reply. As we (still) have advanced subscription I asked ADSK support for help. Unfortunately it seems there is no Topobase API (simple) command if you need to get and process features from multiple documents. I have now implented the feature selection with the help of ACAD and Map API.
