C3D-0041 · READ-ONLY: locate the SEWER EASEMENT 36239.95 annotation [FIND-SSE-ANNO2] done

Walks every model-space entity with no type or layer filter, matching text on 36239 / 0.83 / SEWER EASEMENT and also reporting every area-type Civil label, with type, layer, position, style and parent parcel. No changes.

C# payload

// READ-ONLY. Find the "SEWER EASEMENT / 36239.95 SQ FT / 0.83 ACRES" annotation.
//
// No type or layer filter - my earlier scans filtered on both and missed it. Walk EVERY entity in
// model space, pull whatever text it exposes, match on the number, then report what it is and what
// holds it.
//
// Notes to self: DBObject is ambiguous (AutoCAD vs Civil) - fully qualify it, same trap as Entity.
// Civil Label has no GetTextComponentValue; for labels fall back to the exploded text or just
// report the type, rather than guessing another member name.
