Class MechanismSolidShare

Namespace

Hi.Mech

Assembly

HiMech.dll

Makes a copied mechanism display the SAME Solid instances as the mechanism it was copied from — the rule the authored equipment face applies when it materialises the runtime face, so the heavy machine-body geometry is built and held once.

Methods

Share(IGetAnchorToSolidDictionary, IGetAnchorToSolidDictionary)

Replaces every solid of dst's dictionary by the source's instance hung on the matching anchor — matched by anchor Guid first, then by anchor name (a chain seeded from chain code rebuilds its anchors on every load, so its Guids are not persisted). The copy's own, replaced solid has no other holder and is disposed; the source's instances are never disposed here, the source keeps their lifecycle. A matched destination anchor also takes the source anchor's Guid, so identity-seeded display colors agree between the two topologies. Source entries with no solid, and destination anchors that already hold the very same instance, are left alone. Either side being null, or having no dictionary, shares nothing.

public static int Share(IGetAnchorToSolidDictionary src, IGetAnchorToSolidDictionary dst)

Parameters

src IGetAnchorToSolidDictionary

The mechanism whose solids are to be shared; typically the authored face.

dst IGetAnchorToSolidDictionary

The copy that will display them; typically the runtime face.

Returns

int

How many destination entries now hold a source instance they did not hold before.
