General Information

While writing a dialog in the context of the Annotation module the programmer needs to select Annotator objects with respect to a certain select focus. Also calling get_selection is using these Annotation select foci.

These foci must not be combined with select foci of other Creo Elements/Direct Modeling applications or the base product itself.

Annotator objects can be selected using the keywords

:selection

:selection requires a list of select foci.

:select-attribute

:select-attribute is an optional keyword and can be set to

• :docu-calc-geo-only
  Annotator objects created by Creo Elements/Direct Modeling when projecting a 3D model to a view plane can be selected only.
  
• :docu-user-geo-only
  Annotator objects created by the user can be selected only.
  These could be dimensions, symbols, texts and geometry.
