items in a layout
items in a layout
i need to know which blocks are inserted into (so i can get the attributes) and which text is used in a given layout. short of going through a vectorization process to get the entities in a layout, is there an easier way to do it?

if i understand you correctly, you just need to iterate through paperspace block table record looking for oddbblockreference and oddbtext/oddbmtext entities.

but how can i tell if a given item is in a given layout.
say i have two layouts: lay1 and lay2. a text item is in lay1 but not in lay2. how can i tell this easily?

i don't understand.
you iterate a layout, meet the text...

i think this is what you want to know :
to iterate through the different views -
odbdictionaryptr viewdict = oddbdatabase->getlayoutdictionaryid().safeopenobject();
oddbdictionaryiteratorptr iter = viewdict->newiterator();
for( ; !iter->done(); iter->next ) {
oddbobjectid objectid = oddbdatabase->findlayoutname(iter->name().c_str());
oddblayoutptr odlayout = objectid.safeopenobject();
oddbobjectid blocktableid = odlayout->getblocktablerecordid();
oddbblocktablerecordptr odblocktable = blocktableid.safeopenobject();
oddbojbectiteratorptr layoutiter = odblocktable->newiterator();
// voila, here is this layouts iterator :-)
}

you dont need oddbdatabase->findlayoutname()
you may get layout object directly from iterator via getobject()
