Polyline within polyline

We extract polyline shapes from DWG. The program finds the corresponding label for the shape if the text is within the shape polyline. we have a situation where the shape is within a large shape. What is the best way to extract both shapes and recognize the corresponding labels? Is there a way to prioritize the import (from smallest to largest)? The DWG is a floor plan of a lab, the lab contains lab sections, and lab sections contain lab benches...

Hi, CadLib has no ready-made solution for this. You could prioritize the smallest shape when a text is in multiple shapes. - Wout

Thanks Wout. What's the proper way of prioritizing? The other way would be put them into different layers... By the way I sent two emails directly to you for the past two weeks for paid-support but never heard back, so perhaps I sent to the wrong email? Thx.

If I were to define a format, I'd probably use inserts and attributes to associate data with geometry. Other than that you'd have to think of how to assume which data belongs to which geometr, I don't really want any responsibility in that area. - Wout
