A persistent reference ID is related to a model. It is portable and can be saved within the model or in other places. Some persistent reference IDs are general to all models and can be instantiated from all models. Your application must handle persistent reference IDs and their relationships among models.

Before calling this method, call IModelDocExtension::GetPersistReference3 to get the object's persistent reference ID.

The swPersistReferencedObject_Suppressed and swPersistReferencedObject_Deleted enumerators only apply to references of topological entities.

IModelDocExtension::GetObjectByPersistReference3 was designed to return the base class of a feature to take advantage of the base feature class functionality. Objects returned by IModelDocExtension::GetObjectByPersistReference3 are often features, including IConfiguration, IRefPlane, and IRefAxis objects. You must first obtain a reference to a feature, and then use IFeature::GetSpecificFeature2 to get the original object.
