Xref List filtering

[Anonymous]

Hello all.

Currently I am using an RTEXT box to generate a list of xrefs in the drawing. I am wondering if it is possible to filter this list to only show xrefs in a specific format. Basically the majority of our xrefs will follow a format of "XXXXX-XX-XX-XXX-XXXXXXX X.X XX" but of course sometimes you end up xrefing a file with a different structure or randomly named i.e "thisisanxref". Is it possible to filter the list so that only the former is shown in the RTEXT?

Hi HaleOED,

unfortunately, I think it will not be possible to do.

The 'xrefs' function is defined at 'rtext.arx' and only allows the following syntax:

From the help files:

• $(xrefs [, flags [, leader [, trailer]]])
• flags  A collection of bitflags with the following meanings: 1 = (default) include Xref file name (not exclusive with flag 2), 2 = include Xref block name (not exclusive with flag 1), 4 = don't display file name extension, 8 = don't display path, 16 = show nesting with additional spacing
• leader  A text string inserted before each Xref entry.
• trailer  A text string appended to each Xref entry except the last.

Well that is disappointing. Is there perhaps a way to have a field update based on the rtext but then filter that list? I can't seem to find anything online saying so but worth asking.
