System.int IGetID()

System.int IGetID(); 

Return Value

Array with two longs or integers (see Long vs. Integer) identifying this sketch hatch ID (see Remarks)

The ID of the sketch hatch:

• is an ordered pair (i1, i2). The combination of these two numbers is always unique within a specific sketch.
• cannot be assigned by applications or users.
• is not the same as a persistent reference ID.

Each entity within a specific sketch has a unique ID. However, a sketch line can have the same ID values as a sketch arc within the same sketch. Likewise, in a second sketch, you may find a different sketch element with the same ID. Therefore, your application must keep track of:

• sketch element type (that is, point, line, arc, spline, and so on)

• owning sketch name

• sketch element ID to uniquely identify a sketched item

You can determine the sketch element type by using ISketchSegment::GetType.
