Queries in Custom Tables

Ethan_Keller

Just wondering why queries aren't supported in the precondition of a custom table? Also this post serves as an improvement request to support them in the future

And you're asking this now?

My vague recollection from the initial discussions: the mechanics are somewhat self-explanatory in a Part Studio, but what happens when we put in drawings support? We left that as an open question and didn't include queries in MVP.

You can still query things with, e.g., qAllModifiableSolidBodies().

One workaround I've found is you can use a custom feature that sets a variable that is used by the custom table. See my example over in this post.

Thanks crew - yeah makes sense WRT drawings. I currently just set an attribute on the entity I'm interested in - so it works but is just a little clunky.
