  View view,
  ElementId detailGroupTypeId
)

Parameters

view View

The view that the input attached detail group must be compatible with.

detailGroupTypeId ElementId

The attached detail group that will be checked for compatibility with the input view.

Return Value

Boolean

InvalidOperationException

The input group is not a model group and can therefore not have attached detail groups.

Remarks

Currently, detail groups in perpendicular elevation views (for example, North and East views) are considered compatible. When showing these detail groups, an error (FailureMessage) based on id can be generated if the orientation of the annotations do not match the orientation of the target view (for example, the failure definition DimensionPerpendicularToView). To prevent displaying detail groups in the wrong view, you can check the OwnerViewId of a detail group to make sure it matches the view in which you are trying to display it.
