Methods
 
Name Description
Public method AddToDrawings(Drawings) Adds sheets, blocks, layers, text styles, line types read from the file to the drawings control.
Public method AddToScene(Environment, RegenOptions) Adds to the Environment control the entities loaded from the file, along with the other master collections. Items contained previously in the Environment are merged, except the root block that is replaced with the one loaded from the file, if it exists.
Public method AddToScene(Environment, bool, RegenOptions) Adds to the Environment control the entities loaded from the file, along with the other master collections. Items contained previously in the Environment are merged.
Internal protected (Protected Friend) method Cancelled(BackgroundWorker, DoWorkEventArgs) Checks if the user has requested cancellation of the background operation. (inherited from WorkUnit).
Internal protected (Protected Friend) method CloseStream() Closes the stream. Must be called by all derived classes. (inherited from ReadFileAsync).
Public method CreateXRef(string, Point3D, Environment, string, blockExportType) Creates a block with the loaded entities, adds it to the Environment, marks it as external reference and returns a BlockReference to that block.
Protected method DoWork(BackgroundWorker, DoWorkEventArgs) Does the actual work allowing progress bar update and cancellation.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (inherited from Object).
Public method FillAllCollectionsData(Environment) Automatically merges all master collections with existing ones. (inherited from ReadFileAsync).
Protected method FillAllDrawingsCollectionsData(Drawings) Automatically merges all the drawings collections with existing ones. (inherited from ReadFileAsyncWithDrawings).
