(Design Series required) The story attribute specifier will search for objects on the specified layer. (see table at the end of this section for a complete listing). The search value must be one of the predefined object type selectors The object type attribute specifier will search for objects that match the specified object type. The search value should be a STRING value which is up to 64 characters in length

The layer attribute type will search for objects on the specified layer. The class attribute type will search for objects assigned to the specified class. The record name must be a literal STRING value. For example, to search for objects having the Part Data record attached, the search term would be: The record attribute specifier requires the use of the multiple criteria format to specify the record name. The record attribute specifier will search for objects that have the indicated record attached. This traversal specifier instructs the search to ignore the content of non-referenced design layer viewports. This traversal specifier instructs the search to ignore the content of referenced design layer viewports.ĭo not descend into non-referenced design layer viewports This traversal specifier instructs the search to look inside viewport annotations.ĭo not descend into referenced design layer viewports This traversal specifier instructs the search to look inside plug-in object containers. This specifier will search for all objects in the document. These standard attribute types are available for use in search terms. (R IN )Ī search using the above term will match any objects with an attached record matching one of the records in the When a search term is specified in this fashion, objects matching any value in the comma delimited value list will be included in the list of objects matching the search. It is also possible to filter for multiple match values using search criteria. In the example, the selection status attribute type was added, so now only selected objects in the Phase 1 class on layer New Construction will match the search. To narrow the search even further, simply add additional search terms: Two search terms are combined to filter for a specific set of objects, in this case any objects on the layer New Construction whose class is Phase 1. Multiple search criteria are created using the & operator to chain individual search criteria terms. Multiple criteria terms may be specified in order to narrow the search operation to a more specific subset of objects. Parentheses are traditionally used to enclose and indicate individual search terms they are not required. The general syntax for search criteria terms is: The search value Edged indicates what class will be a match in the search operation. In the criteria term, the C attribute type indicates that the search should be performed on the class attribute of objects in the document. Indicates that a search should be performed for any objects whose class is Edged. The search attribute specifier indicates which attribute will be used to filter objects in the document the search value specifies the value to be found and matched by the search operation. Search criteria in scripts are composed of two parts: the search attribute type specifier and the search value. Search criteria use the attributes of Vectorworks objects (layer, class, color, line weight, etc.) as a means of selecting and manipulating subsets of items within the file. Search criteria are designed for use with the criteria API and with worksheets to filter and locate objects by the specified attribute values. 3.4 Search Viewport Instances (INVIEWPORT).
