Common Elements

Currently AutoXChange 2007 allows the user to add one or more Block References (Inserts) via the XML file. Each insert must contain one or more line or polyline entities. Optionally it may also contain a text entity, database linkages and hyperlinks. Several items are required in the XML for all Block Reference additions.

XML Specifics

AreaData REQUIRED   This marks the begining and ending of the entity definition. Everything between the <AreaData>/</AreaData> tags relates to a single Area defnition (or Block). There can be one or many AreaData sections in the XML file.

Id REQUIRED   This is the name of the Block Definition. This must be unique and should not already exist in the drawing. If the Id is not unique then all such AreaData sections will be combined into one.

Color OPTIONAL   This is the color to make the entities. If no color is listed then Black is used.
