You were arguing with him? hehe ...I've done that once; it was "fun" (for him).

For those of us that are not masters, can you please explain in plain english what this does before I download it?

You can simply read the header comments of the DwgDataList.cs file.

It’s exactly like lisp's entget, except instead of DXF data, you get the DWG data. It’s useful in rare occasions where some data is not exposed in a class, or you just want to poke around

Thanks, but I should probably caution others that this class was written very quickly and was barely-tested. I needed a custom DwgFiler to find ObjectId references (for use with the 'Find Referencing Objects' function in my home-grown DBView/MgdDbg-like tool).

If i can find the time, I would like to break-out the entire 'Find references' functionality from that tool and make it available as well, since it's been one of the most-helpful tools I've ever built. Saved my tail more times than I can recall.
