Begin shape construction.

syntaxSyntax:
DlxFigure.BeginShape()

Return Value

If the operation ends correctly it returns true otherwise it returns false.

Remarks

Call BeginShape to start building a new shape then draw the individual segments by calling the following methods: AddArc, AddBezier, AddCurve, AddLine, AddPoint, AddPoints. When you have finished drawing the shape, end the construction by calling the EndShape method.

var prj = DlxApp.GetJob().GetProject("Example Sch");
