Public methodGetDoubleUserProperties(DictionaryString, Double)
Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
Public methodGetDoubleUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Double)
Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
Public methodGetDrawing
Gets the drawing where the drawing object is.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.)
Public methodGetIntegerUserProperties(DictionaryString, Int32)
Retrieves all integer user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
Public methodGetIntegerUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Int32)

Public methodGetStringUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, String)
Retrieves all string user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
Public methodGetUserProperty(String, Double)

Public methodGetUserProperty(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.)
Public methodGetUserProperty(String, String)

(Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
Public methodGetView
Gets the view where the drawing object is.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.)
Public methodInsert
Calls the system to insert the new object.
(Overrides DatabaseObjectInsert.)
Public methodIsEqual
Compares the current object with an object of the same type.
(Overrides DrawingObjectIsEqual(Object).)
Public methodIsSameDatabaseObject
Returns true if the current object and the given object are referencing the same database object.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.)
Public methodModify
Calls the system to update/modify the object.
(Overrides DatabaseObjectModify.)
Public methodMoveObjectRelative
Moves the object using the move vector.
(Inherited from MarkBase.)
Public methodSelect
Calls the system to select and retrieve the object.
(Overrides DatabaseObjectSelect.)
Public methodSetUserProperty(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.)
Public methodSetUserProperty(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.)
Public methodSetUserProperty(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.)
Public methodToString

Examples
The following example enumerates through all parts in all views and inserts marks for all those parts, the marks are placed in the middle of the part.
