Version:

Description:

Saves an attribute definition to disk.

Declaration:

 

C/C++

extern "C" void WINAPI VCSaveVCA(char* szAttribName, char* szAttribFile);

Delphi

procedure VCSaveVCA(szAttribName: PAnsiChar; szAttribFile: PAnsiChar); stdcall;

ActiveX/COM

Sub SaveVCA(ByVal szAttribName As String, ByVal szAttribFile As String)

Parameters:

szAttribName - a string representing the name of the attribute within the drawing.
szAttribFile
- a string representing the path and name for the file to save.

Notes:

Attributes created in one drawing can not be used in other drawings until they have been saved to a VCA file on disk. A attribute definition can have two unique naming conventions. An on disk name used when saved to file(limited to the characters defined by the operating system) and an internal name used to store the name in a Visual CADD™ drawing session. Most attribute commands require the internal name not the on disk name. The internal name can be determined from the saved name with VCGetAttributeInternalName.
