public static bool Read(
	SoInput in,
	out SoPath path
)

Public Shared Function Read ( 
	in As SoInput,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef path As SoPath
) As Boolean

public:
static bool Read(
	SoInput^ in, 
	[OutAttribute] SoPath^% path
)

static member Read : 
        in : SoInput * 
        path : SoPath byref -> bool 

Parameters

in

Type: OIV.InventorSoInput

path

Type: OIV.InventorSoPath

Return Value

There is an alternate read routine that returns the resulting root node. The programmer is responsible for determining which routine to use, based on the contents of the input. These routines return false if any error occurred during reading.

If the passed OIV.Inventor.SoInput was used to open a file and the name of the file contains a directory, OIV.Inventor.SoDB automatically adds the directory to the end of the current directory search path in the OIV.Inventor.SoInput. This means that nested files named in OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoFile nodes may be found relative to that directory. The directory is removed from the search path when reading is complete.
