Use a query with a SQL condition to retrieve objects based on the value in a linked

data base record. In this example, all pads with a phase type of 'C' are retrieved. Move

your cursor over the image to see the results.

NOTE If you are retrieving objects from attached drawings, you must have the

same data base attached in both the attached drawing and the current drawing.

You must link SQL data to objects before you can use a SQL query. For more

information about connecting to external databases and linking records to

objects in your drawings, see

Setting Up Data Sources for Drawings (page 204)

and

Overview of Linking Database Records to Objects (page 522).

NOTE This functionality applies only to drawing objects. For information on

filtering geospatial feature data by property, see

Using Expressions to Select Feature

Data

(page 1131).
