[VW7.4] Capturing all changes of a subset of parcels into a ChangeSet/ChangeList?

Hi,

I would like to capture all changes made to a subset of parcels (I’m not using Store here), since they were previously saved.

I’ve hacked the ChangeList code to figure our additions/deletions, but it’s not completely satisfactory.

I’m thinking if I could capture selected changes (for a subset of parcels) into a ChangeSet then this would be more elegant.

The question is, where is the best place to hook into the system change code?

Or would this easier to achieve if I was using Store?

Thanks,

Stewart

How about reading your .cha as a ChangeList and then filtering out
the changes that apply to your set of parcels?

Create a new named change set by right-clicking in the lower left corner
of the launcher (typically says 'Default'). Make all your changes in the
various parcels. File out this change set, again by right-clicking in
the same area.

Thanks Reinout,

Currently my changes file is pretty large, so I'd put this option on the
bottom of the list in favour of a more "event driven" approach. However,
it may turn out to be the least invasive.

Cheers,

Stewart

Hi Reinout,

After attempting to hook into the underlying change mechanism (by
becoming a dependent of ChangeSet), it looks like your suggested
approach is the way to go.

It saves having to create Change objects (with all the intrinsic
complexity), and also preserves the history, which I wish to replay in a
deployed image to do live updates.

Guess the KISS principle applies!

Cheers,

Stewart
