DirectShape.GetExternallyTaggedGeometry(ExternalGeometryId)
externalId ExternalGeometryId The external ID of the externally tagged geometry that should be obtained.
→ returns ExternallyTaggedGeometryObject→nullNothingnullptr The externally tagged geometry. Or null Nothing nullptr a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) if there is no such an externally tagged geometry in the DirectShape.
DirectShape.GetExternallyTaggedReference(ExternalGeometryId)
externalId ExternalGeometryId The ExternalGeometryId of the requested reference object.
→ returns Reference→nullNothingnullptr A Reference to the externally tagged reference GeometryObject having the provided external ID or null Nothing nullptr a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) if there is no reference geometry having the external ID.
