type

Type: SystemType

Return Value

This routine is used to create new global fields. If there is no global field with the given name, it will create a new global field with the given name and type. If there is already a global field with the given name and type, it will return it. If there is already a global field with the given name but a different type, this returns NULL.

All global fields must be derived from OIV.Inventor.Fields.SoField; typically the result of this routine is cast into the appropriate type. For example:

SoSFInt32 intField = (SoSFInt32)SoDB.CreateGlobalField("Frame", typeof(SoSFInt32));
