I'm mainly hoping to get an educated pair of eyes on what I'm doing, hoping some guiding light could be shed on my work :\
To explain what I'm trying to do:
I get a survey file that has point data as proxy entities, and I want to create a survey that we can work better with, turn off layers, etc. As it is, all objects are on one layer, different colors, and all around a PITA to work with if we want to view it differently.
My boss decided the easiest thing to do in the whole situation was task me with creating a routine to take the surveyors points in CAD, and modify them.
The surveyor -does- send us an .asc file with raw point data, but I only just now realized this, and I'm already a good ways invested in the route I've chosen, so I hammer on.
I wish to do this to each entity:
explode it, select the 'cyan' entity which is an mtext object containing the point #, and create a new piece of mtext with insertion point and content matched to the old, and all other properties (layer, color, textstyle, etc) as I see fit.
mimic that for green entity, and white entity.
Then I wish to repeat that process for each and every AUTOCAD_PROXY_ENTITY in the drawing.
Then, I won't be at 100% done, but will be mostly there.
