2017 API dlibrary.document.SymbolDefinition

dlibrary.document.SymbolDefinition

Class to represent a symbol definition.

Base classes

• AbstractResource Class to represent a document resource.
• IRecords Interface that handles attached records.

Static methods

create_placeholder(name: str)

get_by_name(name: str)

OBSOLETE. Use ObjectRepository().get(handle_or_name) from object_base instead.

Constructor

__init__(self, handle_or_name: 'vs.Handle | str')

Properties

• (get) handle -> vs.Handle
• (get) name -> str
• (get) records -> 'dict[str, Record]'

Methods

__eq__(self, other)

Two objects are the same if they are from the same type and both have the same handle. The handle is what Vectorworks sees as the primary key for an object (which is session based!)

__hash__(self)

We need to override this, as we have custom object equality implemented! The Handle class isn't hashable, so we'll use the string representation instead.

__ne__(self, other)
