The following example shows how to create a basic drawing link to the current drawing.
The drawing mark is used as the link text.
using Tekla.Structures.Drawing; using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d; using System; public class Example { public void Example1() { DrawingHandler _drawingHandler = new DrawingHandler(); ViewBase _view = _drawingHandler.GetActiveDrawing().GetSheet().GetAllViews().Current as ViewBase; Size size = new Size(10.0, 10.0); Point insertionPoint = new Point(200, 200); DrawingLink link = new DrawingLink(_view, insertionPoint, _drawingHandler.GetActiveDrawing(), String.Empty, size); link.Insert(); } }
