esri_docfeaturelayer_setquery (AutoLISP)

Modifies the QUERYFILTER of an existing document feature layer. You cannot modify the query definition of feature layers with subtypes. Feature layers with subtypes are always defined with a single AutoCAD layer definition.

Syntax

(esri_docfeaturelayer_setquery FLNAME QUERYFILTER)

Arguments

• FLNAME [String] (required)—The document feature layer name.
• QUERYFILTER [Associated List] (required)—One or more DXF pairs to define members of the feature layer.

  Associated label	Value type	Value description	Required or optional
  DXF_CODE	Integer	DXF property value.	Required

Operational conditions are set using the "-4" DXF code.

Example

Set the query of the Simple_Lines document feature layer to all Arcs or Lines.

(esri_docfeaturelayer_setquery "ALL_Lines"
  (list
    (cons -4 "<OR")
    (cons 70 0)
    (cons 0 "ARC")
    (cons 0 "LINE")
    (cons -4 "OR>")
))

Return values

• If successful, returns True
• If failed, returns nil. Possible reasons for failure include the following:
  • Feature layer name does not exist in the drawing.
  • Required values are missing.
  • Invalid DXF types or ranges of values are entered.
  • Poorly formed list, such as invalid dotted pairs or not an associated list.
  • Feature layer has subtypes or is from a feature service. You cannot modify the query definition of feature layers with subtypes or those based on feature services.
