Reference (Object)

Represents an object pointing to another object.
This other object can be either a wireframe GeometricElement 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 Boundary object. References are created using appropriate methods for parts. They are then passed to an object to enable associativity with the referenced object.

Property Index

DisplayName
Returns the name of the referenced object.

Method Index

ComposeWith
Composes a reference with another reference thus creating a new composite reference.

Properties


o 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 GeometricElement 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


o 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)
