Hello,

Is there a way in Dynamo to add to my drawing datashortcuts reference ?  
For instance i would like to automaticaly add all my rails alignments as a reference in my drawing…

Thanks for your ideas.

@bertrand.savarit as far as I’m aware there is no API in Civil 3D to access / manage data shortcuts.

There are nodes available in [Camber v2.0.0](https://github.com/mzjensen/Camber/releases/tag/v2.0.0) for working with data shortcuts.
