Description

namespace VectorWorks

Member of VCOM:VectorWorks:ISDK

Creates a new data object of size objectSize with the specified tag and attaches it to the object attachTo. If attachTo is nil, the data object is still created, but is not attached to anything; you must then use AttachAuxObject to attach it to another object. Calling GetObjectType on a data object will return userDataNode. Graphsoft reserves all tags consisting entirely of lowercase letters. [Note: While data objects are intended to only appear as auxiliary objects, you may insert them into the normal drawing list with no ill effects. However, using excessive numbers of them this way will slow down basic operations such as picking, snapping, and redrawing.]
