`CableConnectorCollection`

A collection of CableConnectors.

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:Load({FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Cables.cfx]]})

    -- Retrieve a 'CablePath' and 'CableHarness' used to construct a connector

cablePath = project.Definitions.Cables.Paths["CablePath1"]
cableHarness = project.Contents.CableHarnesses:Item("CableHarness1")

    -- Construct a 'CableConnector' with three pins

pinList = {"StartPin1", "StartPin2", "StartPin3"}
CableConnector = cableHarness.Connectors:Add(cablePath.StartTerminal, pinList)

    -- Check if there is a connector on the harness with a specific label

found = cableHarness.Connectors:Contains("CableConnector2")

Collection lists
- CableHarness object has collection Connectors.

Property List

BoundingBox: A box indicating the bounding box of this entity. (Read only Box). (Read only Box)
Count: The number of CableConnector items in the collection. (Read only number)
Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Add (properties table): Adds a new cable connector to the harness using the table of properties. (Returns a CableConnector object.)
Add (position Point, pinNames string): Adds a new cable connector at the given position to the harness. (Returns a CableConnector object.)
Add (terminal CablePathTerminal, pinNames string): Adds a new cable connector at the given path terminal to the harness. (Returns a CableConnector object.)
Add (properties table, pinNames string): Adds a new cable connector to the harness using the table of properties. (Returns a CableConnector object.)
Delete (): Deletes the entity.
Duplicate (): Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties (): Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Item (index number): Returns the CableConnector for the given index in the collection. (Returns a CableConnector object.)
Item (label string): Returns the CableConnector for the given label in the collection. (Returns a CableConnector object.)
Items (): Returns a table of CableConnector items. (Returns a UnsupportedType(List of CableConnector) object.)
SetProperties (properties Object): Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties (): Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
