list of placed objects on a layout

[alemanda]

Looking at the revision history objects I was wondering How to get a list of only the visible objects (placed in several views) on a layout?
Any idea?
Has somebody ever tried to get it?

Hmm... that would require some very complex scheduling and then manually combining them on the layout. From the top off my head, that is.

Any particular object category you are thinking off here (eletrical, furniture, etc)?

Or are you referring to revised objects only?

I need to have a list of objects. It's for a general purpose. I think of it since a long time ... but I didn't figure out how to get it.
I saw something similar in the keynote by cadimage.
They have a schedule that can show only the labels on that specific layout.

You can use schedules to list objects placed on a story or inside certain zones, etc. This might be what you are looking for. You can place the schedule on your layout.

Thanks for your help.

What you suggest It's not exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

I'm trying to have a list of only those objects visible on a certain layout. Of course in the layout I can place details, floor plans, sections, worksheet ...

Hi.

Well, it "can" be done using GDL, but is not an easy task. The thing is: what kind of objects are you trying to schedule and how do you want them scheduled? I ask because views (per your last comment) can be scheduled. Objects however, cannot be AFAIK.

Please read this thread:

If you like, I can upload the test I did using the code posted (with some modifications), so you can see how it works.

Best regards

I need a schedule of the objects which are visible, only those visible, on a certain layout.
The schedule has to be placed in the masterlayout and it will be produced by GDL also.
My problem is how to know which objects are visible in that specific layout.

Yes SinceV6
I read the code you mentioned in the linked topic.
... I need to study the "request" command for Homedbinfo ...

What I understood is that I have to write in a file the "context" (and the other data I need to schedule) where "myobject "is placed (plan, section, detail, layout), then place the "scheduler" in the masterlayout; the scheduler will read the file written by "myobjects" and check if the "context" (for each myobject) is present on that specific layout ...

A little bit complicated ...
I will try

Well... not quite. The code in the example only works if both objects are placed directly in a layout, not a master. Didn't try to make it work that way though, in the couple hour test I made.

In that context, you have one object that writes information to a text file, and then a scheduler object that sorts through it to find the objects that are placed in that layout only. Just not sure you can create an object that you could place on a master layout and behave differently on each layout...

But what I understand you are trying to do is far more complex, so please correct me if I'm wrong: you want to place objects in standard views (plan, sections, details, etc), then place those views in layouts and create a schedule object that will know what views are placed in each layout and if they contain the objects you want to schedule? If that is what you are after, I don't think GDL can go that far. Something like this would need to be programmed using the API, and is way more advanced.

There might be some other workarounds, or maybe a different way to show what you want.

What you understood is correct.

I'm making some simple beginning tests. I will keep the thread updated.

I'm starting from this point
