ORD COM API is a programming interface provided by OpenRoads Designer (ORD) software. It allows developers to write custom programs and scripts to automate various tasks and operations within the software. The API provides access to various functions and objects within ORD, including the ability to read and write design data, modify geometry, and interact with the user interface.
Using the COM API, developers can create custom plugins and tools to extend the functionality of ORD, automate repetitive tasks, and integrate ORD with other software tools and systems. The API is designed to be used with languages that support the Component Object Model (COM), such as C++, C#, and Visual Basic.
To use the ORD COM API, developers must first create an instance of the OpenRoads Designer application object, then use this object to access the various functions and objects provided by the API. The API documentation provides detailed information on the available functions and objects, as well as sample code and examples to help developers get started.
