    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    EPLAN.Harness.API.Exceptions.HpdApiNotInitializedExceptionApi is not in an initialized state. You can get current state from EPLAN.Harness.API.HpdApi.Status property. If API is uninitialized, you can initialize it by calling EPLAN.Harness.API.HpdApi.Init method. If API is in failed state, you can not resurrect it.
    EPLAN.Harness.API.Exceptions.ObjectInvalidException The object is in invalid state. Obtain a new one.
    EPLAN.Harness.API.Exceptions.IncorrectPartTypeExceptionThrown when the type of part can not be placed by the method.
    EPLAN.Harness.API.Exceptions.NotSamePartOfPathExceptionThrown when both edge points do not lie on one part of path.
    EPLAN.Harness.API.Exceptions.ControlPointsAreNotNeighboringExceptionThrown when edge points do not lie next to each other.
    Remarks

    Controls points have to be neighboring.

    Example
    This example shows how to place a cable tie on a bundle.
    /// Obtain project and workspace beforehand and open for writing.
Project proj = ...
Workspace workspace = ...
workspace.Open(false, false);

// Special component library part. (assume the library connected to project contains the library part)
var tieLibPart = proj.ActiveConnection.GetLibraryPartsByPartNumber("cable tie lib part").FirstOrDefault();

// Obtain wire from workspace
IOccBundle bundle = workspace.GetAllOccurrences<IOccBundle>().FirstOrDefault(occ => occ.Name.ToString() == "myBundle");

// Obtain controls points from bundle.
List<IControlPoint> controlPoints = bundle.GetAllControlPoints().ToList();
IControlPoint firstPoint = controlPoints.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Name.ToString() == "occ_1");
IControlPoint secondPoint = controlPoints.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Name.ToString() == "occ_2");

// Position of the cable tie.
TransformProperty<LengthProperty> position = new TransformProperty<LengthProperty>
(
	new LengthProperty(-50, Unit.Millimeter),
	new LengthProperty(120, Unit.Millimeter),
	new LengthProperty(70, Unit.Millimeter)
);

// Place attached part to occurrence.
workspace.PlaceCableTie(tieLibPart, bundle, firstPoint, secondPoint, position);
