if, say, you have a layering system that breaks down into fields like this.
(note: CAP=necessary fixed position and length and LCASE = optional and
variable length)
Abbb-CC-eee_ffff-Ghhh
eg:
A= P= proposed (E=existing R=record F=future A=abandon etc..)
b= phase 100
CC=LA=landscaping (TR=traffic etc...)
e=IR=irrigation (PAV=pavement etc..)
_ separates var length eee from fff
f=fit=fitting
G=B=block (L=line P=point H=hatch etc.)
h=45=45 bend
or TYPICALLY WOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
P100-LA-IR_FIT-B45
My question is, is it possible to write place code snipits inside toolbar
buttons that would pull up layer manager
automatically placing certain wildcard criteria in the search box.
for exaple, if you wanted to pull up layer manager to see all the landscape
layers you could hit a tool bar button labeled LA
and the action would be equivalinet to entering *-LA* in the search box but
it would all be accoplished with one click.
If this is possible and there are useful tips in programing these code
snippets like say you wanted to see all landscape fittings layers in a
selection....
Thanks in advance, Alex
