Overview

This is the interface to a LayOut Connection Point. A ConnectionPoint defines a target point to which a Label or LinearDimension can connect.

Examples:

doc = Layout::Document.open("C:/path/to/document.layout")
entity = doc.pages.first.entities.first
point = [2, 2]
# Create a Connection Point to LayOut Entity in the document
cp = Layout::ConnectionPoint.new(entity, point)
# If the entity is a [Layout::SketchUpModel], then we can use a 3D point
# in model space along with the PID of the entity in the model to make a
# deep connection.
point3D = [100, 200, 300]
pid = "1345"
cp2 = Layout::ConnectionPoint.new(entity, point3D, pid)
# This point can then be used to connect a label or linear dimension to
# the entity.
leader_type = Layout::Label::LEADER_LINE_TYPE_BEZIER
target_point = Geom::Point2d.new(1, 1)
bounds = Geom::Bounds2d.new(2, 1, 1, 1)
label = Layout::Label.new(text, leader_type, target_point, bounds)
label.connect(cp)
