|---|---|---|
| SymbolReference Constructor | Default constructor. Creates the SymbolReference object. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AreTargetsSpecifed | The value determines if target is taken from net-based routing or not. |
| Block | Returns a block which this SymbolReference object is part of. If this object is not a part of any block, this property returns NULL. |
| CrossReferencedObjectsAll | Returns an array of objects cross-referenced with this object (i.e. having the same name - in case of functions - or otherwise associated) (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| DatabaseIdentifier | Returns the project as number. The number is unique for all open projects in one session. The number changes when the project is closed and opened again. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| DrawingOrder | Sets display sequence. The drawing order flag will be used to sort elements according to drawing order within a group. If elements chare the same value the drawing order will result from order of the data model. Default value is 67. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| GraphicalConnectionPoints | An array of the symbols's connection points |
| GraphicalConnections | An array of SymbolReference.GraphicalConnection objects representing all auto-connecting lines connected to the pins of the symbol. This property may be useful to check graphical layout of connections associated with the symbol (including T-nodes, corners, etc.). |
| Group | Returns a group that the Placement object belongs to. If the Placement object doesn't belong to any group, NULL is returned. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| HasPolylineAsLogicalArea | Returns true if the symbol's logical area is a polyline (consisting of segments) rather than just a rectangle. |
| IsLocked | Determines if the the StorableObject is locked. The StorableObject is locked when it was explicitly or implicitly locked. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsPlaced | Returns true if the placement is placed (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| IsReadOnly | Determines if StorableObject is read-only (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsSetAsVisible | Gets/Sets visibility of the object as set in its properties dialog. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| IsTransient | Determines if the the StorableObject is transient. The StorableObject is transient when it was created by default constructor and: it is a Page and it was not assigned a Project, it is a Placement or any class derived from it and was not assigned a Page. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsValid | Determines if StorableObject is correct database object and is not deleted. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Location | Overridden. Get or set the placement's location. |
| LogicalAreaSegments | Gets/Sets an array of segments that the symbol's logical area may consist of. |
| ObjectIdentifier | Returns the object identifier as number. The number is unique for all objects of this type. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Page | Returns the page the Placement is on, or assigns a Page object to the placement. If the placement was previously assigned to another page, it is removed from old one and assigned to the page given as an argument. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| Project | Returns the project the StorableObject belongs to. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Properties | EPLAN properties of the SymbolReference object. |
| PropertyPlacements | Returns Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.PropertyPlacements assigned to the SymbolReference. |
| PropertyPlacementsSchemas | Returns PropertyPlacementsSchemas assigned to this SymbolReference. |
| SymbolVariant | Specifies Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.MasterData.SymbolVariant assigned to this SymbolReference. |
| SymbolWiringType | Set configuration type to select different variants for point or destination wiring |
| TypeIdentifier | Returns the type of the object as number. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| UseLocalPropertyPlacements | Return true if the instance uses the local property instances, otherwise it uses the ones of the variant. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ConvertToGraphics | Converts the symbol representing this object into a group of graphical placements. |
| CopyTo | Overloaded. Copy Placement and insert the Copy into destination group. Copied placement will be inserted into desired project of destination group. If this placement is temporary, the copy will be persistent, if the destination group is also persistent. Group or Page, where the placement will be inserted. Defines whether a layer should be matched by name. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| Create | Overloaded. Creates a SymbolReference. It is placed on the page passed as a parameter, using a given SymbolVariant. |
| Dispose() | Destructor for deterministic finalization of SymbolReference object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Equals | Operator of comparison implementation. Checks if two StorableObjects refer to the same object in the project. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| GetBoundingBox | Placement bounding box. Bounding box is a rectangle which contain this placement. It can be also used to determine placement size. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| GetLogicalArea | Returns a rectangle which is the logical area of the object derived from SymbolReference. For objects having symbols consisting of segments, this method returns the bounding box of the polyline created by those segments. |
| GetPropertyPlacements | Gets list of property placements of given type. |
| GetTypeName | Returns object type name. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsPointInsideLogicalArea | Checks, if the point is inside logical area of the symbol. Returns true, if the symbol has a logical area and the point is inside. The logical area may be a rectangle or a polyline without arcs. |
| LockObject | Tries to lock current object in database for exclusive access. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Remove | Removes placement. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| ReorderPropertyPlacements | Reorders property placements of one type, which are assigned to this SymbolReference. |
| Scale | Overloaded. Scales the placement (or group of placements) by the specified factors in X and Y axis with scaling origin point specified by the ptOrigin parameter X axis factor. E.g. value of 2 makes the width two times bigger.Y axis factor. E.g. value of 0.5 makes the height two times smaller.Scaling origin point. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement) |
| SetLogicalArea | Sets rectangular logical area for objects derived from SymbolReference. |
| SmartLock | Tries to lock current object. If object is Placement - it's page will be locked as well; Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.E3D.Placement3D locks it's installation space; Function locks all it's connections and connection definition points; Page locks all placements from this page. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| SwitchLocalPropertyPlacements | Copies or removes all local ProperyPlacemnets and sets flag |
| ToStringIdentifier | Returns this object as string identifier. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
