Description Zhiqiang Qian CLA 2008-04-25 03:15:20 EDT 
To support export single element/structure to handle, need model provide canExport() api to check if current element/structure can be exported. For some elements like group, cell, row it doesn't make sense to export them to library.
Comment 1 Rick Lu CLA 2008-04-25 04:36:46 EDT 
Provided canExport() for StructureHandle and DesignElementHandle. The return value  is a boolean.
Comment 2 Rick Lu CLA 2008-05-06 22:18:11 EDT 
Provided canExport() for DesignElementHandle/StructureHandle in ElementExportUtil.
Comment 3 Frank Zhang CLA 2008-05-08 06:49:18 EDT 
We must pass a library to API canExport(), it means that it's dependent. But in fact some elements are always cannot be exported, such as cell, etc.
Could you support this?

Zhiqiang, please help me REOPEN it, for I have no permission.
Comment 4 Zhiqiang Qian CLA 2008-05-08 21:49:06 EDT 
Yes, We also need library independent check API for Element export.
Comment 5 Rick Lu CLA 2008-05-11 22:33:30 EDT 
Added 2 new methods of canExport() in ElementExportUtil.
