AutoCAD Map 3D Geospatial Platform API

 
Geospatial Platform API Documentation
 
 
 

The documentation for the Geospatial Platform API is in 3 places:

  • AutoCAD Map 3D Geospatial Platform Developer’s Guide (this guide)
  • AutoCAD Map 3D Geospatial Platform API Reference
  • AutoCAD Map 3D .NET Reference Supplement

The Geospatial Platform API reference contains documentation about classes and methods that are common to AutoCAD Map 3D and MapGuide. When a method behaves differently in AutoCAD Map 3D this is noted in the reference.

The Geospatial Platform Supplement Reference contains documentation about classes and methods that are used only within AutoCAD Map 3D. In most cases the classes extend classes in the Geospatial Platform API Reference.

The Geospatial Platform API works with the Feature Data Objects (FDO) API. FDO documentation is available with AutoCAD Map 3D, both in the product installation help folder and in the SDK.

NoteThe API References are available in CHM format. The Developer’s Guides are available in PDF and CHM format. To view all CHM documentation as part of one help system, open sdk.doc.main.chm.
