object

All Collections The object or objects this property applies to.

Index

Variant; input-only
The index location in the collection for the member item to query.
The index must be either an integer or a string. If an integer, the index must be between 0 and N-1, where N is the number of objects in the collection or selection set.

RetVal

Object;

Remarks

This method supports string based iteration. For example, you could reference the document named "siteplan.dwg" through the following statement:

Set mydoc = Docs.Item("siteplan.dwg")

In general, the index can be passed in as any integral type: integer, long, double, etc. In addition, the following collections support a case-sensitive string type as an index (typically the name of the collection member):

 Boundaries
 BreakLines
 ContourItems
 DEMFiles
 DescriptionKeyFile
 DescriptionKeyFiles
 Drawings
 PointGroupNames
 PointFiles
 Projects
 Prototypes
 WaterSheds

Also, the following collections support a case-insensitive string type as an index (typically the name of the collection member):

 Alignments
 Parcels
 PointGroups
 Surfaces

If a station equation is deleted, then the indices for the StationEquations collection will change.
