Within a DWG. Click a link or entity to insert block
« on: August 20, 2018, 12:45:11 PM »
I know this sounds crazy. I have a state map with all the counties. I was wondering if I can select a county name which is linked to another drawing that shows all the streets.

I was thinking more like a DCL that shows the state map with radio button. The user can select what county they need and it inserts it. I know we could use the tool palette, but that's a lot of scrolling looking for the name.

Like I said, crazy thought.

Thanks!

Doesn't seem impossible. You would need to create the DCL, return the value (county selected), and insert/xref the resulting file. Could also make an unload function that if the value is changed the insert/xref is reloaded with the new value.

You got this!

Break it down into the steps you need the routine to accomplish and script out each step one at a time.
