Detailed Description

A wrapper class for the AICopyScopeHandle object.

Copy scopes allow you to group a collection of art object duplication operations as parts a single logical copy operation, in order to maintain some cross-object information through the set of individual operations. An example is linked text object information. When you duplicate the individual text frame objects, the need to maintain their linked attributes. You can either copy all of the linked objects in a single call to AIArtSuite::DuplicateArt(), or you can create a wrapping copy scope and making multiple individual calls to AIArtSuite::DuplicateArt().

You cannot assign or copy the CopyScope objects themselves.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ai::CopyScope::CopyScope

(

)

[inline]

Default constructor.

Creates an empty copy scope object.

Returns:

The new copy-scope object.

ai::CopyScope::CopyScope

(

AICopyScopeKind

kind

)

[inline, explicit]

Creates a copy scope object of a given type.

Parameters:

kind

The type.

Returns:

The new copy-scope object.

References Initialize().

ai::CopyScope::~CopyScope

(

)

[inline]

Destructor.

Destroys the owned scope if it has not already been properly terminated. Does not throw exceptions or return an error code. To determine if there was an error terminating the scope. use Terminate() instead
