Detailed Description

Definition of a Library Part.

Remarks

This structure is definition of the library part. Note, that it is strongly advised to define the file and document name to the same one, because of the Windows/Mac compatibility. The document name terminology was introduced when the Windows platform restricted the filenames to be in 8.3 form. Do not forget to delete the dynamically allocated location pointer after library part operations.

Warning

Legacy data structure - to be deleted in future versions, use ACAPI::Library::LibPart and ACAPI::Library::GSMObject instead
