Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD - FAQs: Application Programming Interface (API) ("Professional" edition only)

The Application Programming Interface (API) is currently under development. Next you can find the available functionality:

LISP

• Coordinate Systems (CRS)
  • Transform the coordinates of a point: (spm_cstransformpoint '(x y z) SourceCRS# TargetCRS# [Tranformation#])
    • '(xyz) : Point source coordinates
    • SourceCRS# : Source CRS code
    • TargetCRS# : Target CRS code
    • Transformation# : Transformation code (Optional)
    • Sample : (spm_cstransformpoint '(-2.5548 43.2148 0) 4326 23030 1133)
  • Get the current drawing CRS Code: (spm_csgetdrawingcrscode)
  • Get the current drawing CRS Name: (spm_csgetdrawingcrsname)
  • Assign a CRS to the drawing: (spm_cssetdrawingcrs CRS#)
    • CRS# : CRS Code
    • Sample : (spm_cssetdrawingcrs 23030)
• Data management
  • Attach a data table to the selected objects: (spm_fdattachtable "TableName")
    • TableName : Name of an existing Table
    • Sample : (spm_fdattachtable "Census")
  • Set the value of a data field for the selected objects: (spm_fdsetfieldvalue "TableName" "FieldName" "Value")
    • TableName : Name of an existing Table
    • FieldName : Name of an existing Field in the above table
    • Value : Value for the above Field
    • Sample : (spm_fdsetfieldvalue "Census" "TRACK" "99")
  • Get the value of a data field for the selected object: (spm_fdgetfieldvalue "TableName" "FieldName")
    • TableName : Name of an existing Table
    • FieldName : Name of an existing Field in the above table
    • Sample : (spm_fdgetfieldvalue "Census" "TRACK")
