Spatial Manager™ for GstarCAD - 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")
