ImGearVectEntities.EASYLINE

Line.

ImGearVectEntities.POLYLINE

Depending on fill type and vertex count:

• Polyline
• Face
• 3D Polyline
• Hatch

  Hatch is created if non-zero fill type object is attached to the polyline and its type is one of the following:

  • ImGearVectFillPattern.SOLID
  • ImGearVectFillPattern.HATCH_BDIAGONAL
  • ImGearVectFillPattern.HATCH_CROSS
  • ImGearVectFillPattern.HATCH_DIAGCROSS
  • ImGearVectFillPattern.HATCH_FDIAGONAL
  • ImGearVectFillPattern.HATCH_HORIZONTAL
  • ImGearVectFillPattern.HATCH_VERTICAL
  • ImGearVectFillPattern.GRADIENT

ImGearVectEntities.POLYLINEEX

3D polyline for every contour. If non-zero fill type object is attached to the polyline, then a Hatch is created as well.

ImGearVectEntities.ELLIPSE

• If the entity contains a draw color attribute, then Ellipse object is created.
• If the entity references a fill type, then Hatch object is created.

ImGearVectEntities.ARC

• If draw color is attached to the entity, then Ellipse object is created.
• If non-zero fill type object is attached to the entity, then Hatch object is created.

ImGearVectEntities.TEXT

Several Text objects.

ImGearVectEntities.BEZIER_CURVE

• If curve flag is set to ImGearVectNURBSFlags.MFIT, then 2D Fit polyline;
• If Bezier degree is 2,  then 3D Quadratic spline;
• If Bezier degree is 3, then 3D Cubic spline.

ImGearVectEntities.NURBS_CURVE

Spline.

ImGearVectEntities.EASY_SURFACE

Polygon mesh.

ImGearVectEntities.FIGURE

• If the entity references a fill type, then hatch object is created.
• If the entity references a line type, then internal entities are saved as Polyline objects using entity data cache.

ImGearVectEntities.RASTER

Raster image (saved to a separate raster file and referenced from the DWG/DXF file). Filename must be specified for the raster entity.

ImGearVectEntities.VIEWPORT

Viewport (don’t confuse with Viewport table record).

ImGearVectEntities.SHELL

If the entity contains only triangles and quadrilaterals then it is saved as polyface mesh. Otherwise, the entity is saved as line segments or region. 

ImGearVectEntities.SOLID

Solid.

ImGearVectEntities.GEOMETRY

If Fill type exists, then region; otherwise line segments.

ImGearVectorView

Viewport table record.
