Hi,
I am doing architectural work. I want to delineate zones in a design that I can then use to indicate which zone an item is in. I considered creating zone objects which would be a block with attributes of: 1) a pointlist indicating closed polyline to be used to see if it encloses some object later to be added 2) a closed polyline in modelspace that shows the extent of the zone in the drawing, and 3) a unique integer number.
The trouble I'm having with this scenario is that I want the geometry of the zone to be an attribute, i.e. it would vary between instances of the block. I could, for instance, have 4 "zoneblocks" in the drawing that I could filter out as zones but each of which could have a different polygon and pointlist. Similar to a regular string type attribute, like say a "roomnumber" that can be assigned a value, I want to assign a polyline attribute. Trouble is that if I change one "zoneblock" to have a particular geometry, they all follow suit.
Unfortunately, autocad regions don't seem to have any functionality in this regard. It seems like a basic problem. Any ideas on how to approach this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
