    Public Properties
     NameDescription
    Public PropertyReturns 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)
    Public PropertyReturns 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)
    Public PropertyGets/Sets whether the value of the dimension (the dimension's text) is automatically calculated.  
    Public PropertyGets whether presicion is setted or not.  
    Public PropertyGets the distance dimension text to dimension line.  
    Public PropertyGets length dimension extension help line.  
    Public PropertyGets the dimension line termination.  
    Public PropertyGets/Sets whether the dimension's text is automatically positioned (in relation to the dimension item itself).  
    Public PropertyGets the presicion of DimensionItem.  
    Public PropertyGets the prefix of DimensionItem.  
    Public PropertyGets whether unit is displayed or not.  
    Public PropertyGets the suffix of DimensionItem.  
    Public PropertyGets the value of DimensionItem.  
    Public PropertyGets the unit of DimensionItem.  
    Public PropertyDetermines whether dimension value is centered in line  
    Public PropertySets 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)
    Public PropertyGets or sets the end point of the dimension item.  
    Public PropertyGets whether first extension help line is displayed or not.  
    Public PropertyGets whether second extension help line is displayed or not.  
    Public PropertyGets or sets the first point of the dimension item.  
    Public PropertyReturns 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)
    Public Property

    Determines if the the StorableObject is locked.

    The StorableObject is locked when it was explicitly or implicitly locked.

    (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyReturns true if the placement is placed (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement)
    Public PropertyDetermines if StorableObject is read-only (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyGets/Sets visibility of the object as set in its properties dialog. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement)
    Public Property

    Determines if the the StorableObject is transient.

    The StorableObject is transient when it was created by default constructor and:

    it is a Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Page and it was not assigned a Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Project,

    it is a Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement or any class derived from it and was not assigned a Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Page.

    (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyDetermines if StorableObject is correct database object and is not deleted. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyGets/Sets the actual visibility state of the object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.GraphicalPlacement)
    Public PropertyGets or sets object's graphical layer. If object is not assigned to a project (Project is null), null is returned (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.GraphicalPlacement)
    Public PropertyGets layer id of layer assigned to this object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.GraphicalPlacement)
    Public PropertyOverridden. Get or set the placement's location.  
    Public PropertyReturns the object identifier as number. The number is unique for all objects of this type. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyReturns 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)
    Public PropertySets Pen related to this object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.GraphicalPlacement)
    Public PropertyReturns the project the StorableObject belongs to. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public Property.NET Property enabling access to P8 properties of the Page object.  
    Public PropertyGets or sets the second point of the dimension item.  
    Public PropertyDetermines whether dimension line is suppressed  
    Public PropertyColor for displayed text. Color index (0-255) Please use -16002 as "From layer" value.

    Predefined values for line colour index are:

    0 = black

    Public Methods
     NameDescription
    Public MethodOverloaded. 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)
    Public MethodOverloaded. Creates DimensionItem on a given page.  
    Public MethodDestructor (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 MethodPlacement 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)
    Public MethodServes as the default hash function. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodReturns object type name. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
