get all drawing elements regardless of window

Anonymous — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 15:00:32 GMT

When I use ACAPI_Element_GetElemList(API_DrawingId, ...)
I get the drawing elements for the current window.

How can I get all the drawing elements for all the windows without changing the current window (or restoring the current window)?

Thanks.

So, is it sufficient to iterate through all the layout databases or do I also need to check the Detail, Worksheet and MasterLayout databases?

I'm not aware of any command that would retrieve all elements from all databases simultaneously. You will probably have to iterate through all databases.
