Restore a 3D metrology context from disk.

Syntax

AIL_ID M3dmetRestore(
    AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR FileName,          //in
    AIL_ID             SysId,             //in

)

Description

This function restores a 3D metrology context that was previously saved to a file, using M3dmetSave or M3dmetStream. This function restores all of the 3D metrology context's settings that were in effect when it was saved.

When the restored 3D metrology context is no longer required, release it usingM3dmetFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during restoration; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the 3D metrology context's lifetime and you must not manually free it.

Parameters

FileName (in, AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR)

Specifies the name and path of the file from which to restore the 3D metrology context. The function handles (internally) the opening and closing of the file.

For specifying the file name and path

Value	Description
M_INTERACTIVE	Opens the File Open dialog box from which you can interactively specify the drive, directory, and name of the file.
"FileName"	Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile"). Typically, 3D metrology files have an M3DMET extension.

To specify a file on a remote computer (under Distributed Aurora Imaging Library), prefix the specified file name string with "remote:///" (for example, "remote:///C:\mydirectory\myfile"). |

SysId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the system on which to restore the 3D metrology context.

For specifying the system identifier

Value	Description
M_DEFAULT_HOST	Specifies the default Host system of the current Aurora Imaging Library application.
System identifier	Specifies a valid system identifier, previously allocated using MsysAlloc.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

Context3dmetIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the 3D metrology context identifier or specifies the data type that the function should use to return the 3D metrology context identifier.

For retrieving the identifier or specifying how to return it

Value	Description
M_NULL	Specifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D metrology context; in this case, a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier of type AIL_ID is returned.
M_UNIQUE_ID	Specifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated 3D metrology context; in this case, an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier of type _AIL_UNIQUE_3DMET_ID_is returned instead of a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier.This setting is only available when using C++11 (or later).An Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier manages the lifespan of the Aurora Imaging Library object it owns (similar to a std::unique_ptr). Note, you can use an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier as though it were a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier, except that you cannot use it to manually free the 3D metrology context (it is freed automatically). For more information, see Aurora Imaging Library smart identifiers.
Address in which to write the fit 3D metrology context identifier	Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the restored fit 3D metrology context.

If restoration fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the statistics 3D metrology context identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the restored statistics 3D metrology context.

If restoration fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. |

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the 3D metrology context identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_3DMET_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
