AcmSymbol Class

Syntax

C++

class AcmSymbol : public OdDbEntity;

Description

This class is the base for all symbol classes in Mechanical SDK. It inherits from OdDbEntity.

Remarks

This class cannot be used to create instances. It is mainly used to handle leaders and connections to AcmStd. It also handles the subobjects created by each specific symbol. So, the class contains an Imp object, hiding the data from the user. The class interface implements the basic OdDbEntity interface, which is extended to provide leader functionality, an interface for geometry associations through the leader, and symbol transformations.
