|---|---|---|
| Connection Constructor | Overloaded. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ArticleReferences | Returns ArticleReferences that are referenced by Connection. |
| Articles | Returns Articles that are referenced by Connection, and only those that are stored in project database. |
| CableDefinitionLine | Returns Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.EObjects.Cable from a ConnectionDefinitionPoint assigned to this Connection. If there are more then one ConnectionDefinitionPoint assigned to this Connection, an exception is thrown. Such situation has to be handled by calling ConnectionDefPoints and analyze of the result. |
| CableNameParts | Gets/Sets a cable's name to the connection. |

| Connection3D | Returns the Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.E3D.Connection3D which is a 3d representation of this connection. |
| ConnectionDefPointProperties | Allows to access properties of a ConnectionDefinitionPoint assigned to this Connection. If there are more then one ConnectionDefinitionPoint assigned to this Connection, an exception is thrown. Such situation has to be handled by calling ConnectionDefPoints and analyze of the result. |
| ConnectionDefPoints | Returns the ConnectionDefinitionPoint related to this connection. |
| 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) |
| EndIndex | Index of the end function's connection point (0,1,2,...) that the connection is connected to. |
| EndPin | Returns the end Pin of this connection, if such exists (i.e. if the connection is connected on the target side). Otherwise, NULL is returned. |
| EndSymbolConnPoint | Returns the PinBase which this connection is connected to on the target side. If this connection is not connected on the target side, NULL is returned. |
| EndSymbolReference | Returns the second of two SymbolReferences connected by this connection. |
| EndTargetNumber | Target number of end function (1,2,3...) |
| FunctionDefinition | Returns the FunctionDefinition of the Connection. |
| IsCoveredTemplate | Returns true if this is a Connection object that covers a wire's template in the cable where it belongs. |
| IsFixedDevice | Checks if device to which connection is assign is fixed or not. |
| 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 |
| IsReadOnly | Determines if StorableObject is read-only (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| IsRemovable | Returns true if the Connection can be removed |
| IsTemplate | Returns true if this is a transient Connection object representing a cable wire's template. |
| 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) |
| KindOfWire | Returns kind of wire. |
| 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 where the connection is placed on. |
| PotentialDefinitions | Returns the PotentialDefinition related to this connection. |
| Project | Returns the project the StorableObject belongs to. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| Properties | .NET Property enabling access to P8 properties of the Connection object. |
| RepresentationType | Gets/Sets connection's representation type. |
| Shieldings | Returns the Shielding objects the connection is composed of. It does not return Shielding objects the connection is shielded by. |
| StartIndex | Index of the start function's connection point (0,1,2,...) that the connection is connected to. |
| StartPin | Returns the start Pin of this connection, if such exists (i.e. if the connection is connected on the source side). Otherwise, NULL is returned. |
| StartSymbolConnPoint | Returns the PinBase which this connection is connected to on the source side. If this connection is not connected on the source side, NULL is returned. |
| StartSymbolReference | Returns the first of two SymbolReferences connected by this connection. |
| StartTargetNumber | Target number of start function (1,2,3...) |
| SubConnections | If connection contains interruption points, this method returns an array of partial connections which current connection consists of For a "net connection" this method will return an empty array. |
| SymbolReferences | This method returns an array of SymbolReferences objects that belong to a connection . This may for example be T-pieces or corners. Also beginning and end are returned. |
| TypeIdentifier | Returns the type of the object as number. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| WriteProtected | Check if object is currently write protected or sets Manual write protection |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AddArticleReference | Overloaded. Adds a new ArticleReference to the Connection. Returns the added ArticleReference. |
| Assign | Assigns this connection to another, which means that values of this connection's properties are copied to the target connection and the source connection itself is removed from the project. |
| Dispose() | Destructor for deterministic finalization of Connection 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) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| GetTypeName | Returns object type name. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| GetWriteProtectionFlagSet | Checks if a specific write protection kind was set. |
| LockObject | Tries to lock current object in database for exclusive access. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
| MakePersistent | Allows to create non-placed connection from a connection template. In effect connection template becomes covered template. |
| PauseWriteProtection | Temporarily disables write protection. Note that current write protection flags are not cleared. |
| PlaceAsConnectionDefinitionPoint | Places this connection as a connection def. point on the given schematic page and in the given location. If this is an uncovered connection template and the location points to a connection line on schematic page, the template automatically becomes covered (i.e. connection is created in the project) Note: When uncovered connection template becomes covered, connections on the page are updated which may affect performance. If this method needs to be called repeatedly, use the DisableConnectionUpdateStep object to make the performance better. |
| Remove | Removes the connection from the Project. |
| RemoveArticleReference | Removes the ArticleReference from the Connecttion |
| 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) |
| ToStringIdentifier | Returns this object as string identifier. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject) |
