Label Curves and Piping - MEP 2010
« on: January 20, 2011, 02:52:58 PM »
Has anyone dealt with label curves and piping.  I'm trying to find out how to tell if a label curve is 'anchored' to a section of pipe or pipe fitting, or vice versa.  I say 'anchor' because I don't think they are anchored but are somehow linked a different way.

I'm not sure if this answers your question...please clarify if I've misunderstood.

The LabelCurve.CurveId property will get you from a label back to the pipe/fitting/cable tray/whatever.  I don't know of any method [aside from brute force --  traverse modelspace looking for LabelCurves with matching CurveIds], to do the reverse.  Disclaimer:  I haven't done this much -- an obvious answer may be out there for both of us.

That answers my question perfectly!

Thank you very much. 

After thinking about this overnight and the direction you've shown me, it does look more like the brute force direction is the way I need to go.
