Remarks

This Method does not return 3D objects, even when they are created. To get the 3D objects use other overloaded method instead. Warning: Inserted functions are not numerated by this method. When a device is created by a function templates, only the main function (or terminal) is placed on the page, the rest is added to the project as unplaced function. In this case, the page needs to be refreshed (e.g. by using Edit.RedrawGed) to make the result visible.
