Exceptions

Example

API user can call this method to create parital reference surface in the hostDrawing by the index of the data shortcut in a working project.

 1string hostDwgName = @"C:\Drawing1.dwg";
 2Database hostDb = new Database(false, true);
 3hostDb.ReadDwgFile(hostDwgName, FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare, false, null);
 4
 5string sourceDwgName = @"C:\WorkingFolder\ProjectFolder\Surface.dwg";
 6string objectName = "EG";
 7DataShortcuts.SetWorkingFolder(@"C:\WorkingFolder");
 8DataShortcuts.SetCurrentProjectFolder("ProjectFolder");
 9DataShortcuts.Validate();
10bool isValidCreation = false;
11var dsManager = DataShortcuts.CreateDataShortcutManager(ref isValidCreation);
12int index = -1;
13for (int i = 0; i < dsManager.GetPublishedItemsCount(); ++i)
14{
15    var item = dsManager.GetPublishedItemAt(i);
16    if (sourceDwgName.Equals(Path.Combine(item.SourceLocation, item.SourceFileName))
17        && item.Name == objectName
18        && item.DSEntityType == DataShortcutEntityType::Surface)
19    {
20        index = i;
21        break;
22    }
23}
24
25ObjectId objectId = dsManager.CreatePartialReferenceSurface(index, hostDb, refBoundaryId);
