'EntitySection' object has no attribute 'query'

[Kevin Lu]

Hi, I try to query entities in specific layer. However, the AttributeError shows : 'EntitySection' object has no attribute 'query'.

I had read the tutorial, it said "The ENTITIES section also supports the query() method", and the origin code is:

lines_and_circles = doc.entities.query('LINE CIRCLE[layer=="construction"]') 

When I run the code in tutorial, the same error: 'EntitySection' object has no attribute 'query' was shown.

How to fix this error and achieve the goal I want?

Thank you for your help.

The entities section is not real section, and I guess you want to query the modelspace: doc.modelspace().query()

If you really want to query the entities space, which represents the entities of the modelspace and the "active" paperspace, import the EntityQuery object:

from ezdxf.query import EntityQuery

result = EntityQuery(doc.entities, "... query string ...")
