IModelDatafileType interface

The IModelDatafileType interface represents the data file type for the specified model. Simulation Model has three model types and thus three data files, PCB LIB has one model type and one data file, PCB3DLib has one model type and one data file and SI has one model type and one data file.

public interface IModelDatafileType

Namespace: SCH · Assembly: Altium.SDK.Interfaces

Remarks

The IModelDatafileType interface is used by the IModelTypeManager

Example

Show the properties of every model data file type.

using SCH;

IModelTypeManager modelTypeMan = EDP.Utils.LoadModelTypeManager();
if (modelTypeMan == null)
    return;
for (int i = 0; i < modelTypeMan.ModelDatafileTypeCount(); i++)
{
    IModelDatafileType modelDatafileType = modelTypeMan.ModelDatafileTypeAt(i);
    DXP.Utils.ShowMessage(
        modelDatafileType.FileKind() + "\r" +
        modelDatafileType.ExtensionFilter() + "\r" +
        modelDatafileType.Description() + "\r" +
        modelDatafileType.EntityType() + "\r" +
        modelDatafileType.ModelType().Name() + "\r" +
        modelDatafileType.SupportsParameters());
}
