Reference (Object)

Represents an object pointing to another object.
This other object can be either a wireframe object such as a plane or a line, or a boundary representation object such as a face, a vertex or an edge. It may be, in particular, a object. References are created using appropriate methods for parts. They are then passed to an object to enable associativity with the referenced object.

Properties


Property DisplayName() As (Read Only)
Returns the name of the referenced object. The name of the referenced object is either the name displayed in the specification tree for a object or a character string defining the reference for a boundary object.
Example:
The following example returns in StrName the displayable name of reference FirstRef:
 StrName = FirstRef.DisplayName
 

Methods


Func ComposeWith( iReference) As
Composes a reference with another reference thus creating a new composite reference.
Parameters:
iReference
The reference to be composed with the current reference.
Example:
The following example returns in CompositeRef the reference resulting from the composition of the FirstRef and SecondRef references.
 Dim CompositeRef As Reference
 Set CompositeRef = FirstRef.ComposeWith(SecondRef)
