Vectorworks SDK Registry
With the GS_NewDataObject call, the Vectorworks SDK allows developers to save data in the Vectorworks file identified by 32 bit or four character identifiers. Each identifier used in the file must be unique to avoid the situation where independent developers will overwrite each other's data.
This page serves as a registry identifying the ownership of these four character tags. If you use GS_NewDataObject to store data in Vectorworks, please send a brief description of who you are and what tags you are using to registry@vectorworks.net and your information will be added to this page. Please include a contact name & email, company name, and if you want, a company web URL. For each tag you wish to register, include its four character code and a brief statement of what kind of data is stored inside. If the four character code uses non ASCII characters, please also send the hexadecimal value of the code to avoid confusion.
Vectorworks Inc. Types
All tags consisting of entirely lower case characters and spaces are reserved for exclusive use by Vectorworks Inc. Tags which do not fall into this category are unrestricted and can be used by anyone, but we encourage you to register the tags you use with us in order to prevent conflicts in the future.
