Unique Entity ID

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I need to import geometry from DWG files and do the following

1. Identify the profile type from a lookup table and its orientation from its type
2. Look for marked entities
3. Extrude the profiles and assemble the extrusions based on their relative positions described in a table and align them relative to entities identified in step 2

What is the best way to mark the entities in DWG or else import them in to Inventor and manualy mark them to present it to a utility?

I need to access the marked entities by their ID to get their coordinates

@Anonymous,

Hoping that assigning Attributsets to entity may be helpful. For more details on Attributesets, refer below blog link.
