Another component of Engineering Links (E-Links)is something called the UstnForm protocol. This specialized keyin allows web-page developers to extend the functionality of the FORM HTML-Tag to drive MicroStation from a web-page.
Note: Knowledge about the ustnkeyin protocol would be most helpful. Please refer to Engineering Links #3 - UstnKeyin Protocol. The ustnform protocol allows form data to be used to generate parameters to MicroStation key-ins, macros, and MDL applications. In effect, Engineering Links provides its own algorithm for processing form data. This algorithm is invoked when an HTML form is submitted with the action:
To further understand what's going on behind the scenes, the HTML code used in the above example is as follows:
In the above example, notice the use of the ustnkein protocol.
