IECO interface

The IECO interface represents an Engineering Change Order interface in the Work Space Manager. Basically an Engineering Change Order attempts to keep a project containing source documents and its corresponding primary implementation documents synchronized. For example a schematic project and its PCB document, every time something changes in a schematic project, it is necessary to bring the changes forward to the PCB document via the Engineering Change Order feature.

Methods

Method	Returns	Description
DM_AddMemberToObject	bool	Adds a specific action in the ECO manager.
DM_AddObject	bool	Adds a reference object for the ECO to compare the target document against this reference document.
DM_Begin	void	Denotes that the ECO manager has started.
DM_ChangeObject	bool	Changes a specific action in the ECO manager.
DM_End	void	Denotes that the ECO manager has ended.
DM_RemoveMemberFromObject	bool	Removes a specific action in the ECO manager.
DM_RemoveObject	bool	Removes a reference object depending on what ECO mode is.

DM_AddMemberToObject

Adds a specific action in the ECO manager.

bool DM_AddMemberToObject(TECO_Mode argMode, IDMObject argReferenceMember, IDMObject argReferenceParent, IDMObject argTargetParent);
bool DM_AddMemberToObject(int argMode, object argReferenceMember, object argReferenceParent, object argTargetParent);

Parameter	Type	Passing
argMode	TECO_Mode	value
argReferenceMember	IDMObject	value
argReferenceParent	IDMObject	value
argTargetParent	IDMObject	value

Returns: bool

The first overload is an extension method of IECOHelper (using EDP;) with typed parameters; the second is declared by the interface.

DM_AddObject

Adds a reference object for the ECO to compare the target document against this reference document.

bool DM_AddObject(TECO_Mode argMode, IDMObject argReferenceObject);
bool DM_AddObject(int argMode, object argReferenceObject);

Parameter	Type	Passing
argMode	TECO_Mode	value
argReferenceObject	IDMObject	value

Returns: bool

The first overload is an extension method of IECOHelper (using EDP;) with typed parameters; the second is declared by the interface.

DM_Begin

Denotes that the ECO manager has started.

void DM_Begin();

Returns: nothing (void)

DM_ChangeObject

Changes a specific action in the ECO manager.

bool DM_ChangeObject(TECO_Mode argMode, TModificationKind argKind, IDMObject argObjectToChange, IDMObject argReferenceObject, IUpdateParameterOptions argUpdateParameterOptions);
bool DM_ChangeObject(int argMode, int argKind, object argObjectToChange, object argReferenceObject, object argUpdateParameterOptions);

Parameter	Type	Passing
argMode	TECO_Mode	value
argKind	TModificationKind	value
argObjectToChange	IDMObject	value
argReferenceObject	IDMObject	value
argUpdateParameterOptions	IUpdateParameterOptions	value

Returns: bool

The first overload is an extension method of IECOHelper (using EDP;) with typed parameters; the second is declared by the interface.

DM_End

Denotes that the ECO manager has ended.

void DM_End();

Returns: nothing (void)

DM_RemoveMemberFromObject

Removes a specific action in the ECO manager.

bool DM_RemoveMemberFromObject(TECO_Mode argMode, IDMObject argMemberObject, IDMObject argParentObject);
bool DM_RemoveMemberFromObject(int argMode, object argMemberObject, object argParentObject);

Parameter	Type	Passing
argMode	TECO_Mode	value
argMemberObject	IDMObject	value
argParentObject	IDMObject	value

Returns: bool

The first overload is an extension method of IECOHelper (using EDP;) with typed parameters; the second is declared by the interface.

DM_RemoveObject

Removes a reference object depending on what ECO mode is.

bool DM_RemoveObject(TECO_Mode argMode, IDMObject argObjectToRemove);
bool DM_RemoveObject(int argMode, object argObjectToRemove);

Parameter	Type	Passing
argMode	TECO_Mode	value
argObjectToRemove	IDMObject	value

Returns: bool

The first overload is an extension method of IECOHelper (using EDP;) with typed parameters; the second is declared by the interface.
