Class vdLineType

Namespace: VectorDraw.Professional.vdPrimaries

Assembly: VectorDraw.Professional.dll

Represents a reusable line type definition used by drawing entities (LineType) of vdFugure object type. Encapsulates linetype metadata (name, comment), geometry (segments) and drawing behavior (draw method, DPI scaling) and provides support for serialization and document registration.

Examples

vdLineTypes for example of creating and using vdLineType instances in a document.

Remarks

Instances of vdLineType are primary table objects that are typically registered in a document's vdLineTypes collection (LineTypes). The class exposes properties to control how the linetype is rendered and serialized. The default linetype is "SOLID".

Important behaviors:

Renaming is validated against table rules and owner collection constraints.
Deletion is prevented when the linetype is a default or has dependencies in the document.
The Segments collection holds LineTypeSegment entries that define the pattern.
Use Update() after modifying geometry-related properties to refresh internal state.

Constructors

vdLineType(): Initializes the vdLinetype object.

vdLineType(vdDocument): Initializes the vdLinetype object and registers it to the passed Document.

vdLineType(vdDocument, string): Initializes the vdLinetype object and registers it to the passed Document.

Properties

Comment: Get/Set the comments for the linetype.

Deleted: Get/Set a property that marks the object as Deleted or not.

DrawMethod: Get/Set a value that controls the way that the linetype is drawn on the line segments.

IsDPIScale: Get/Set a boolean value representing if the linetype will be always the same not depended from the zoom.

Name: Get/Set the name of the vdLinetype object.

Segments: Get/Set the segments for the linetype.

VisibleOnForms: Get/Set a boolean value representing if the vdLineType will be viewed in Vectordraw forms.

Methods

DeSerialize(DeSerializer, string, object): This Function is called foreach field name of the vdLinetype object when opening in vdml format.

GetTableDependecies(vdTableDependeciesArgs): Fills the passed vdTableDependeciesArgs args with all the table references of this object (vdLayer, vdBlock, vdDimstyle, vdLineType, vdTextstyle, vdImageDef, vdHatchPattern etc).

GetgrLineType(): Get the geometrical information of the linetype.

InitializeProperties(): Resets the properties of the vdLinetype object to the Default values.

IsByBlock(): Get a boolean value representing if the linetype is the default BYBLOCK linetype.

IsByLayer(): Get a boolean value representing if the linetype is the default BYLAYER linetype.

MatchProperties(vdPrimary, vdDocument): Matches all the common properties from an object and sets them to this object.

OnOwnerChanged(): Overrides OnOwnerChanged()

Serialize(Serializer): This Function is called when saving the vdLineType object to vdml format.

SetDefault(): Sets the vdLinetype object as SOLID.

ToString(): Gets a System.String that represents the name of the vdLinetype Object.

Update(): Updates the objects of the object after change of properties.
