Detailed Description

The generic geometry object.

Contained by:

• IFeature

Warning:

Due to performance reasons, it is possible to have several IGeometryItem instances that share the same underlying Pro/ENGINEER object. As a consequence, do not rely on comparing COM instances to check if they represent the same geometry item - compare their identifiers instead (use IModelItem::Id()).

Note:

Clients are encouraged to release references to geometry items as soon as they are no longer needed. Number of geometry items can be large, and holding corresponding COM objects in memory can have adverse affect on performance.
