Importing the Point data type and IPoint interface

About this task

Because the Circle data type contains an element of Point type, you must have the definition of a Point type available within the Circle DataBlade® module project. You must also include the definition of the IPoint interface in the Circle DataBlade module project. The interface informs BladeManager that the Point DataBlade module is required by the Circle DataBlade module.

To import the Point data type and the IPoint definitions interface into the Circle DataBlade module project:

Procedure

  1. Open both the Point DataBlade module project and the Circle DataBlade module project.
  2. Click the Point DataBlade module project window to make it active.
  3. In the folder User Defined Objects\Types\Opaque Types, select the Point data type.
  4. Choose Edit > Copy
  5. Click the Circle DataBlade module project window to make it active.
  6. Choose Edit > Import > From Clipboard.
    BladeSmith copies the required references for the Point data type to the Imported Objects folder of the Circle DataBlade project.
  7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, this time copying the IPoint interface from the User Defined Objects\Interfaces folder.
  8. Choose Project > Save to save your project.
