Proxy object

Description

Proxy objects replace custom objects if the application that created the custom object is in DATAflor GREENXPERT, DATAflor LANDXPERT or AutoCAD is not available.

For example, if a drawing has DATAflor CAD was created and then in an AutoCAD without DATAflor CAD is opened, then the DATAflorObjects (e.g. symbol line, DTM objects) are displayed as proxy objects.

Proxy objects have significantly limited functionality compared to their corresponding custom objects. Deleting and moving objects or that Change of object properties is not possible with proxy objects depending on the source application.

When opening a drawing, the dialog Proxy information displayed. This dialog shows the total number of proxy objects (graphic and non-graphic objects), the name of the missing application and additional information on the type and display status of the proxy objects. This dialog can be used to control the display of the proxy objects.
