applying spatial filters
i'd like to apply spatial filters to the block entities while performing conversation into a custom drawing format.
with given oddbblocktablerecord pointer, i can query for corresponding spatial filter (oddbindexfiltermanager::getfilter), the question is what can i do with the oddbfilter pointer received as a result? should i cast it to oddbspatialfilter, retrieve boundaries and clip all entities of the block by myself, or is there an easier way?

probably easier way is to use gi vectorization pipeline. it can apply spatial filters. see, for example, dwf or svg export.
sincerely yours,
george udov
