Description

Drawings are used to introduce additional graphic or text information related to the network being represented; that is, they are used to add nonnetworked graphics information to the schematic diagrams. Examples of a drawing include title blocks, neatlines, text, and North arrows.

A drawing can be a basic (line, rectangle, circle, polygon, or text) or a complex graphic object made up of several basic graphic objects. A drawing is created using a CGM-compliant graphic file. Drawings are often defined as nonnetwork nodes, but this definition is too simplistic. In fact, some ArcGIS Schematics tools have a different impact on drawings and nodes. For example, in a schematic view, the increase and decrease symbol tools increase or decrease the size of all nodes displayed in the view but keep the current size of drawings contained in the view. A drawing exists only in run time (that is, no parameters can be predefined for a given drawing through your Designer environment). The common properties of a drawing are stored and defined by its related drawing element type.

Members

	All Properties Methods	Description
	Diagram	Diagram that contains the drawing.
	ElementType	Element type that implements the drawing.
	GetCurrentEffect	Returns the current 'effValue' value for the effect 'effect' set for the drawing (see esriNgDrawingEffect).
	GetEffect	Returns the effect 'effect' set for the drawing (see esriNgDrawingEffect).
	GetPortPosition	Returns the position 'point' of the port 'numPort', of type 'type' (see esriNgPortType) associated with the drawing in the view 'view'.
	InitialPosition	Initial position of the drawing.
	InitialRotation	Initial rotation of the drawing.
	IsEffectSet	Indicates if the effect 'effect' related to the drawing is set (see esriNgDrawingEffect).
	Move	Moves the drawing to the (X,Y) relative or absolute position.
	Name	Name of the drawing.
	RemoveEffect	Removes the effects or restores the default effect 'effect' set for the drawing.
	RemoveSubSymbolEffect	Removes the effect 'effect' set for the sub-symbol named 'subName' that composes the symbol used to represent the drawing.
	RestoreInitialPosition	Restores the drawing to its initially defined position.
	SetEffect	Modifies the effect 'effect' set for the drawing (see esriNgDrawingEffect).
