TextEntity Methods

The TextEntity type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodClearPropertyOverrides
Clears all overridden properties for this annotation
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodComponentIndex
If this piece of geometry is a component in something larger, like a BrepEdge in a Brep, then this function returns the component index.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodConstructConstObject
Assigns a parent object and a sub-object index to this.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodStatic memberCreate
Create Text geometry or null if input is invalid
Public methodCreateCurves
Returns the outline curves.
Public methodCreateCurvesGrouped
Creates planar curve from text outline curves. Curves are grouped such that each element in the list being returned represents a single character.
Public methodCreateExtrusions
Creates extrusions from the outline curves with specified height.
Public methodCreateExtrusionsGrouped
Creates 3d Breps from text outline curves. Breps are grouped such that each element in the list being returned represents a single character.
Public methodCreatePolySurfaces
Creates breps from the outline curves with specified height.
Public methodCreatePolysurfacesGrouped
Creates 3d Breps from text outline curves. Breps are grouped such that each element in the list being returned represents a single character.
Public methodCreateSurfaces
Creates planar breps from the outline curves.
Public methodCreateSurfacesGrouped
Creates planar Breps from text outline curves. Breps are grouped such that each element in the list being returned represents a single character.
Public methodStatic memberCreateWithRichText
Create RichText geometry or null if input is invalid
Public methodDataCRC
Returns a CRC calculated from the information that defines the object. This CRC can be used as a quick way to see if two objects are not identical.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDeleteAllUserStrings (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDeleteUserString (Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDispose
Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Protected methodDispose(Boolean)
Overridden in order to destroy local display cache information
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDuplicate
Constructs a deep (full) copy of this object.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDuplicateShallow
Constructs a light copy of this object. By "light", it is meant that the same underlying data is used until something is done to attempt to change it. For example, you could have a shallow copy of a very heavy mesh object and the same underlying data will be used when doing things like inspecting the number of faces on the mesh. If you modify the location of one of the mesh vertices, the shallow copy will create a full duplicate of the underlying mesh data and the shallow copy will become a deep copy.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodEnsurePrivateCopy
If you want to keep a copy of this class around by holding onto it in a variable after a command completes, call EnsurePrivateCopy to make sure that this class is not tied to the document. You can call this function as many times as you want.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodExplode
Explodes this text entity into an array of curves.
Protected methodFinalize
Passively reclaims unmanaged resources when the class user did not explicitly call Dispose().
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodCode exampleGetBoundingBox(Boolean)
Bounding box solver. Gets the world axis aligned bounding box for the geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodCode exampleGetBoundingBox(Plane)
Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the plane aligned bounding box.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetBoundingBox(Transform)
Aligned bounding box solver. Gets the world axis aligned bounding box for the transformed geometry.
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodGetBoundingBox(Plane, Box)
Aligned Bounding box solver. Gets the plane aligned bounding box.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetDimensionStyle
Return the proper dimension style from which to get properties for this annotation object If this object has style overrides, those will be included in the returned dimension style and the style will be updated to include the current state of the parent style for non-overridden fields
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetObjectData
Populates a System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo with the data needed to serialize the target object.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodGetPlainTextWithRunMap
Return plain text string for this annotation with field expressions unevaluated.
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodGetTextTransform
Get the transform for this text object's text geometry
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetUserString
Gets user string from this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetUserStrings
Gets a copy of all (user key string, user value string) pairs attached to this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodIsAllBold
Returns true if all of the text in the annotation is Bold, otherwise returns false
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodIsAllItalic
Returns true if all of the text in the annotation is Italic, otherwise returns false
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodIsAllUnderlined
Returns true if all of the text in the annotation is Underlined, otherwise returns false
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodIsPropertyOverridden
Returns true if a property is overridden
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodIsValidWithLog
Determines if an object is valid. Also provides a report on errors if this object happens not to be valid.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodMakeDeformable
If possible, converts the object into a form that can be accurately modified with "squishy" transformations like projections, shears, an non-uniform scaling.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodMemoryEstimate
Computes an estimate of the number of bytes that this object is using in memory.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodNonConstOperation
Destroy cache handle
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodOnSwitchToNonConst
Is called when a non-constant operation occurs.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodRotate
Rotates the object about the specified axis. A positive rotation angle results in a counter-clockwise rotation about the axis (right hand rule).
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodRunReplace
Replace text within a formatted string
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodScale
Scales the object by the specified factor. The scale is centered at the origin.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodSetBold
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodSetFacename
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodSetItalic
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodSetOverrideDimStyle
Set a style including overrides for this annotation object. The DimensionStyle OverrideStyle must have the override fields marked as overridden and must have it's Id set to nil. Use DimensinoStyle.SetFieldOverride(Field field) and related functions to manage override settings. To override a field, the field value must be set and the field must be marked as an override. The DimensionStyle passed in here must not be in the dimstyle table
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodSetRichText
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodSetUnderline
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
Public methodSetUserString
Attach a user string (key,value combination) to this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodToJSON
Create a JSON string representation of this object
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodTransform(Transform)
Transforms the geometry. If the input Transform has a SimilarityType of OrientationReversing, you may want to consider flipping the transformed geometry after calling this function when it makes sense. For example, you may want to call Flip() on a Brep after transforming it.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodTransform(Transform, DimensionStyle)
Transform the object by a 4x4 transform matrix and change text height override to accommodate scaling in the transform if necessary
Public methodTranslate(Vector3d)
Translates the object along the specified vector.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodTranslate(Double, Double, Double)
Translates the object along the specified vector.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodWrapText
Wrap text
(Inherited from AnnotationBase.)
