public ref class ContextPropertyPlacement : public Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.PropertyPlacement

Remarks

It is not possible to change property placements of SymbolVariant because symbols library database is read-only. In this case BaseException will be thrown (e.g. when changing IsVisible property). PropertyPlacement must be embedded in another datamodel object and can show a property or a related property of this datamodel object. ContextPropertyPlacement can be placed on page and show a property from the source object, from which the property is taken e.g. the following objects are possible: * A property from the page, that is currently drawn. * A Property of the Project, where the PropertyInstance belongs to.
