![]() | ContainerView Class |
The ContainerView class contains container views that contain other drawing objects, including other views and container views. The drawing sheet is a container view.
Container views do not contain drawing representations of model objects.

Gets the view extrema center.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | FrameOrigin |

(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | Height |
The height of the view frame in paper coordinates.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | IsSheet |
Gets a value indicating whether the container view is the drawing's sheet.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | Origin |
The view origin coordinates in the sheet.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | QueryReturnValue |
Status information about the latest database operation (select, insert, modify, delete).
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | Width |
The width of the view frame in paper coordinates.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | Delete |
Deletes the view and its children objects from the database.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | GetAllObjects |
Gets all the objects and their children objects in the view.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | GetAllObjects(Type) |
Gets all the objects and their children objects in the view that are of a certain type.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | GetAllObjects(Type) |
Gets all the objects and their children objects in the view that are of certain types.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | GetAllViews |
Gets all the views that are placed on the container view and their children views.
|
![]() | GetAxisAlignedBoundingBox |
The view size in paper coordinates.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() | GetModelObjects |
Gets the drawing model objects based on given model object identifier.
If used from sheet model objects from all views are returned.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | GetObjects |
Gets the objects in the view. Does not return child objects (single dimensions, grid lines, views).
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | GetObjects(Type) |
Gets the objects in the view that are of certain types. Does not return child objects (single dimensions, grid lines, views).
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | GetOriginalDrawing |
Gets the drawing on which the view was originally created.
@see DrawingObject.GetDrawing() for retrieving the current drawing the object resides on.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | 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) |

![]() | 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) |

(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | IsEqual |
Compares the current object with an object of the same type.
(Overrides ViewBaseIsEqual(Object).) |
![]() | IsSameDatabaseObject |
Returns true if the current object and the given object are referencing the same database object.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | Modify |
Modifies the view in the database.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |
![]() | Select |
Selects the view from the database.
(Inherited from ViewBase.) |

The following example uses a container view to create and insert a new view to the active drawing. A drawing must be open when executing code.
using Tekla.Structures.Drawing; using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d; public class Example { public void Example1() { DrawingHandler MyDrawingHandler = new DrawingHandler(); if(MyDrawingHandler.GetConnectionStatus()) { Drawing Drawing = MyDrawingHandler.GetActiveDrawing(); CoordinateSystem CoordinateSystem = new CoordinateSystem(new Point(), new Vector(1, 0, 0), new Vector(0, 1, 0)); ContainerView ContainerView = Drawing.GetSheet(); View newView = new View(ContainerView, CoordinateSystem, CoordinateSystem, new AABB(new Point(0, 0), new Point(1000, 1000, 1000))); newView.Insert(); } } }
