LocationPoint

Class

Description:
Provides location functionality for all elements that have a single insertion point.

Remarks:
The location point objects adds additional functionality to its base location object class. This includes setting the elements location to a specific point and retrieving its rotation around its insertion point. Inplace families do not have a single insertion point and therefore do not have meaningful LocationPoint data.
