Hello,

Can i get some help to know the parent alignment if offset alignment is selected from the drawing ?

I got to know that its stored at this API function ( i might be wrong)

Thanks for all the support.

Yep, you’re close. If you drill down into the OffsetAlignmentInfo class, you’ll see there is a property for ParentAlignmentId, which is the Object ID of the parent alignment. So here’s what the pseudocode would look like:

# This is the input
offsetAlign
# Get the offset info
offsetInfo = offsetAlign.OffsetAlignmentInfo
# Get the parent ID
parentAlignId = offsetInfo.ParentAlignmentId
# Get the alignment object via transaction
parentAlign = transaction.GetObject(parentAlignId, OpenMode...)
