PresentationHelpers.CreateIShape Method (ShapeElement, ShapeField, ShapeSubField)

Wrap a ShapeElement from the underlying implementation so that it can be used as a UML modeling IShape. This does not construct or modify a shape. Instead, it provides a convenient reference to an existing shape, or a field within a shape.
