WeldMark Class

The WeldMark class defines a drawing object that illustrates a weld mark in a specific view. WeldMark class refers to welding marks that appear when creating/updating drawing views. In this case, ModelIdentifier has a value. WeldMark class also refers to weld marks created with drawing editor UI. In this case, ModelIdentifier value is zero. Graphical representation of welding marks (line and text properties) can be modified using .wel setting files. The welding mark settting files (.wls) cannot be used to modify instances of WeldMark class.

Syntax

Copy

[SerializableAttribute]
public sealed class WeldMark : DrawingObject, 
	IObjectAlignedBoundingBox, IAxisAlignedBoundingBox, IMovableRelative, IHideable, IHasChildren

<SerializableAttribute>
Public NotInheritable Class WeldMark
	Inherits DrawingObject
	Implements IObjectAlignedBoundingBox, IAxisAlignedBoundingBox, IMovableRelative, IHideable, 
	IHasChildren

The WeldMark type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Attributes	The attributes of the weld mark. For more information see WeldMarkWeldMarkAttributes.
	Hideable	Accesses the information if this object is hidden or not or if it should be.
	InsertionPoint	The insertion point of the mark.
	ModelIdentifier	When instance refers to welding mark related to a weld in model database, ModelIdentifier has a value. When instance refers to weld mark created with drawing editor UI, value is zero.
	QueryReturnValue	Status information about the latest database operation (select, insert, modify, delete). (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Delete	Deletes the weld mark from the current drawing database. (Overrides DatabaseObjectDelete.)
	GetAxisAlignedBoundingBox	Returns the axis aligned bounding box of the weld mark (rectangle format).
	GetDoubleUserProperties(DictionaryString, Double)	Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetDoubleUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Double)	Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetDrawing	Gets the drawing where the drawing object is. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	GetIntegerUserProperties(DictionaryString, Int32)	Retrieves all integer user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetIntegerUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Int32)	Retrieves all integer user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetObjectAlignedBoundingBox	Returns the object aligned bounding box of the weld mark (rectangle format).
	GetObjects	Gets the children objects of the current object.
	GetObjects(Type)	Gets the children objects of the current object that are of certain types.
	GetRelatedObjects	Gets the related objects of the current object. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	GetRelatedObjects(Type)	Gets the related objects of the current object that are of certain types. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	GetStringUserProperties(DictionaryString, String)	Retrieves all string user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetStringUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, String)	Retrieves all string user properties for the object with the given list of names. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetUserProperty(String, Double)	Gets a double property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetUserProperty(String, Int32)	Gets an integer property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetUserProperty(String, String)	Gets a string property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	GetView	Gets the view where the drawing object is. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)
	Insert	NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. Welding marks connected with welds in the model database appear when drawing views are created/updated. Weld marks created with drawing editor UI cannot be inserted with API code. (Overrides DatabaseObjectInsert.)
	IsEqual	Compares the current object with an object of the same type. (Overrides DrawingObjectIsEqual(Object).)
	IsSameDatabaseObject	Returns true if the current object and the given object are referencing the same database object. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	Modify	Modifies the weld mark in the current drawing database. Attributes can be modified with .wel setting files. (Overrides DatabaseObjectModify.)
	MoveObjectRelative	Moves the object using the move vector.
	Select	Selects the weld mark from the current drawing database. (Overrides DatabaseObjectSelect.)
	SetUserProperty(String, Double)	Sets a double property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	SetUserProperty(String, Int32)	Sets an integer property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	SetUserProperty(String, String)	Sets a string property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before the method can be used. (Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
	ToString	Changes the string presentation of the drawing object. (Inherited from DrawingObject.)

Examples

The following code modifies a weld mark in the current drawing:

Copy

using Tekla.Structures.Drawing;
using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d;

public class WeldMarkExample
{
    public void WeldMarkModify()
    {
        DrawingHandler myDrawingHandler = new DrawingHandler();
        DrawingObjectSelector dos = myDrawingHandler.GetDrawingObjectSelector();
        DrawingObjectEnumerator allObjectsOnSheet = dos.GetSelected();
        while (allObjectsOnSheet.MoveNext())
        {
            if (allObjectsOnSheet.Current is Tekla.Structures.Drawing.WeldMark)
            {
                WeldMark weldMark = allObjectsOnSheet.Current as Tekla.Structures.Drawing.WeldMark;
                weldMark.Modify();
            }
        }
    }
}
