Get handle of object that data tag is associated with

[The Hamma]

In a vectorscript, does anyone know how to get the handle of an object that a data tag is associated with.  

Specifically I am trying to get the handle to a space from selecting the data tag for that space.

Assuming you already have a handle to a DataTag, have you tried something like this?

   

PROCEDURE xxx;
{ Show association of selected object. }
VAR
	H, DataTagHand :Handle;
	assKind, assValu :Integer;
	
BEGIN
	DataTagHand := FSActLayer;
	H := GetAssociation(DataTagHand, 0, assKind, assValu);
	message('Assoc. Type = ', GetTypeN(H), '    Assoc. Kind = ', assKind, '    Assoc. Value = ', assValu);
	SysBeep;
END;
Run(xxx);

That is it, thanks.

Script to center selected space tags on associatied spaces.

 

PROCEDURE MoveSDTScript;

{script to center selected space tags on associatied spaces.  note if the handle for the space is
outside the boundry of the space the tag will be centered on the space and the bounding point}

VAR
h,h2	:HANDLE;
index,associationkind,value:INTEGER;
phx,phy,ph2x,ph2y:real;

FUNCTION MoveDT(h :HANDLE) :BOOLEAN;

BEGIN
h2:=GetAssociation(h,index,associationkind,value);
Hcenter(h,phx,phy);
Hcenter(h2,ph2x,ph2y);
HMove(h,ph2x-phx,ph2y-phy);
END;


BEGIN 
ForEachObjectInLayer(MoveDT,2,0,2);
END;

RUN(MoveSDTScript);
