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.
