AddEdge Method (ActiveX/ATO)

Signature

VB.NET:

object.addEdge(pTransmitFileFrom, pTransmitFileTo)

C#:

object.addEdge(pTransmitFileFrom, pTransmitFileTo);

object

Type: TransmittalFilesGraph object

The object this method applies to.

pTransmitFileFrom

Access: Input-only

Type: TransmittalFile object

Parent or host drawing file from which the relationship should be created.

pTransmitFileTo

Access: Input-only

Type: TransmittalFile object

The file in which the parent or host drawing file references.

Return Value (RetVal)

No return value.

Remarks

No additional remarks.

Release Information

Releases: AutoCAD 2005 and later

History

• The ITransmittalFilesGraph2 interface was merged with the ITransmittalFilesGraph interface in the AutoCAD 2010 version of the library.
• The addEdge method was introduced with the ITransmittalFilesGraph2 interface in the AutoCAD 2005 version of the library and replaced the add method from the ITransmittalFilesGraph interface in the AutoCAD 2004 version.

Examples

VB.NET:

<CommandMethod("FilesGraph")> _
Public Shared Sub FilesGraph()

    ' Create a transmittal operation
    Dim tro As TransmittalOperation = New TransmittalOperation()

    ' Setup the transmittal behavior
    Dim ti As TransmittalInfo = _
        TransInfo(tro.getTransmittalInfoInterface(), "C:\Users\Public\TransmittalAPITest\")

    ' Get the root file of the transmittal file graph
    Dim tfRoot As TransmittalFile = tro.getTransmittalGraphInterface().getRoot()

    ' Add a drawing file to a transmittal set
    Dim tfFirst As TransmittalFile = Nothing
    tro.addDrawingFile("C:\AutoCAD\Sample\Sheet Sets\Architectural\A-01.dwg", tfFirst)

    ' Add a second drawing file to a transmittal set

    ' Display the name and path of the first file of the transmittal file graph

    ' Display the number of dependees

    ' Create a reference from the first file to the newly added file
    tro.getTransmittalGraphInterface().addEdge(tfSecond, tfFirst)

    ' Display the number of dependees

    tro.getTransmittalGraphInterface().removeEdge(tfSecond, tfFirst)
    ' Display the number of dependees
    MsgBox("Number of Dependees: " & tfFirst.numberOfDependees.ToString())

    ' Resets the transmittal graph
    tro.getTransmittalGraphInterface().reset()

    ' Display the number of files in the transmittal file graph
    MsgBox("Number of Files in Graph: " & tro.getTransmittalGraphInterface().getNumberOfFiles(vbTrue, vbTrue).ToString())
