Annotation in entities

Hello,

I am trying to get a list of mtext, label or annotation attached to every entity in the drawing. Entities like Leader, MText, MLeader etc.. have annotations and MText instances which is fairly easy to retrieve.

However, I would like to extract the same from entities like Line, Circle, Rectangle etc...Is this possible? and if so, how can I do it?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Are you referring to LData/xData? I'm not sure that I understand what you are wanted to retrieve.

KAHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Can you be a little more specific. I'm not sure I really understand by attached to entities. Could you give an example?

For example:

I have drawn a line(of length 12'') and labelled it with the MText object as "200". I would like to retrieve this label (200) from my c#/vb code. Can I do this?

Thanks for your replies.

How would the program know that the MText is associated with the line?

Leader ld = obj as Leader;

if (ld.AnnoType == AnnotationType.MText)

{

MText ldtxt = (MText)tr.GetObject(ld.Annotation, OpenMode.ForRead);

if (ldtxt != null)

{

ld.UpgradeOpen();

ldtxt.UpgradeOpen();

ldtxt.Contents = "(" + ldtxt.Contents + ")";

}

}

By doing this, I can get the MText associated with the Leader. I would like to get a similar information for Lines, Circles etc...

Thanks,

True, but a Leader has the annotation property, Lines and Circles do not.

Right. But on the designer we can select MText object -> Select the line (and it shows a ruler with editable text) -> I type in 200. Now the line has something like 200 shown just above it.

So graphically its obvious that line is marked as 200. I would like to extract the same logically. I know that Lines, Circles etc..dosent have obvious properties to extract the same. I would like to know if there's any other possible way for this?

Thanks,

Kahn.
