Title: Object names for selection sets
Post by: pjm8765 on May 20, 2019, 05:27:18 AM

I could have sworn I have seen a reference that lists all of the major object names that can be provided as a filter rule for a selection set:

Code: [Select]

typedArray.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start, "INSERT"), 0);

So, an INSERT is obviously a block reference ( :thinking:) and CIRCLE and LINE are also obvious.  But what about a dimension and the rest of the objects?  Any pointers, much appreciated.

I believe that you just use the DXFName.  That is the name that pops up when you List the object at the command line.

You can use the LIST command in AutoCAD to check the object DXF name.

Here is a DXF Reference file:

Different objects are described from page 61.
