Returns
Import a ready-made fixture component from a .mcp package — the same action as picking an
item in the fixtures library. Builds the whole component sub-tree (connector, component,
body and jaw axes with their captions, axis directions and travel limits) from the package
and loads its geometry into a hidden "Fixture model" folder of the geometry tree.
FileName is either a full path or a file name resolved against the fixtures library folder.
Returns the created root connector item, or nil if the package was not found.
Declaration
ICamApiFixtureConnectorItem ImportComponentFromFile(string FileName)
