Simple one this time. I'm doing some ref tree navigating and found the FileType property of the IEdmReference11 by VS intellisense. The earlier interfaces do not have it. However, I cannot find any mention of it in the help.

I thought it was just exposing the FileType of the underlying IEdmFile according to the EdmFileType Enumeration https://help.solidworks.com/2014/englis ... eType.html but it's usually 0 for parents but always and it seems more accurate for references to children. More specifically if I have an IEdmReference11 parent: Does anyone know what the FileType Property (IEdmReference11) is used for or what it does?

It's not uncommon for stuff to show up in intellisense that's isn't supposed to be visible. It's usually a good idea to never try to use something that isn't in the API docs. No telling what might happen.
