Topic: Parent Xref Node

[TJK44]

Is there a way to get the status of an XrefGraphNode's parent? When looking at the attachment I want to get the status of 000133-24-01 - SUR DECK when I create an instance of an xrefgraphnode with one of its children.

There doesn't appear to be any XRefGraphNode property for parent. Here is the code I am using which I think is the correct way to start.

Code: [Select]

Dim DocDbXrGraph As XrefGraph = db.GetHostDwgXrefGraph(False)
Dim XrGraphNode As XrefGraphNode = DocDbXrGraph.GetXrefNode(btr.ObjectId)

Thanks,
Ted

Hi,

a Graph isn't structured as a Tree.



In a graph, ther're 'in' and 'out' nodes. A has 3 'out' nodes, C has 3 'in' nodes but there's only ontry for C in the Graph..

You can find here some methods to get a tree structure form an XrefGraph.

Thanks gile... That makes sense why properties aren't there that I would have expected to see.

My apologies up front for the hijack. I have never seen XREF's in the Xref Manager be able to sort hierarchical in a way like the screenshot shows. Is this a custom program you've developed or is this an OOTB feature? This would be HIGHLY beneficial in my line of work, especially for a few current jobs that are XREF nightmares.

Thanks in advance!!

Tree view is a beautiful thing, especially when you have multiple nested XREFs.  Its pretty nice for finding duplicate references ie. "Why won't this detach!?!".
