About programmatic string and reference export and import

The GraphicAccess2 API exports all of a graphic's substitutable strings to a specified XML file, regardless of whether some of the strings have been overridden. All graphic strings that appear from a Ctrl+L or Substitute Strings operation from within the Graphic Editor will be exported, allowing for bulk editing of the graphic strings.

The GraphicAccess2 API can also be used to export a list of configured references for a selected object. The list is exported to a XML string. The API will export the following configured references:

• Mx references

• InTouch tags, including those configured from the argument of attribute

  Example: attribute("InTouch:zhmi-abc")

• Custom properties configured with animation links

• Client scripts

• Custom property overrides

• Client controls

• All applicable references configured within an embedded graphic, regardless of the number of times it is embedded
