Remarks
Use Graphics property to get or set a reference to the graphic object when representation is based on free representation. A free representation (Graphics) has a RepresentationRuleID value equal to -1. For all other representations, the RuleID value is a valid value and always greater than or equal to 1.
Graphics property will return an empty object when the representation is not based on free representation.
How to convert a feature representation into a free representation which uses Graphics for drawing:
- Create a new RepresentationGraphics object. Use esriDisplay.IRepresentationGraphics interface for this.
- Set this representation graphics object to the feature representation using Graphics property. This process will assign a value of -1 to the RuleID property which is significant to a free representation.
- Update the feature representation using UpdateFeature.
- Store the changes using IFeature::Store method.
