    Public Methods
     NameDescription
    Public MethodOverloaded. Adds a new Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.ArticleReference to the Connection. Returns the added Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.ArticleReference. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodAssigns 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. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodClears all route points of connection.  
    Public MethodOverloaded. Creates connection between two 3d placements.  
    Public MethodDestructor for deterministic finalization of Connection3D object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodOperator of comparison implementation. Checks if two StorableObjects refer to the same object in the project. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodServes as the default hash function. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodReturns object type name. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodChecks if a specific write protection kind was set. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodTries to lock current object in database for exclusive access. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodAllows to create non-placed connection from a connection template. In effect connection template becomes covered template. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodTemporarily disables write protection. Note that current write protection (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodPlaces 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 Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.DisableConnectionUpdateStep object to make the performance better. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodRemoves the connection from the Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Project. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodRemoves the ArticleReference from the Connecttion (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Connection)
    Public MethodTries to lock current object. If object is Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement - it's page will be locked as well; Placement3D locks it's installation space; Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Function locks all it's connections and connection definition points; Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Page locks all placements from this page. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodReturns this object as string identifier. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
