Remarks

The IAcStPlugin2 interface must be implemented by a plug-in that wants to participate in the checking of a drawing managed by an AcStErrorIterator object. The plug-in checks a drawing for errors against a set of standards defined and implemented by the plug-in, and reports errors by creating an AcStError object that is passed to the plug-in by the Standards Framework. Optionally, the plug-in can implement code for fixing errors by creating a AcStFix object. The plug-in also implements methods to provide information such as the version and author of the plug-in.

All plug-ins must contain definitions for specific properties and methods, while other properties and methods are option based on if the plug-in supports the CAD Standards feature in the AutoCAD program and/or Batch Standards Checker. The following table outlines when and which properties and methods must be defined as part of a custom class that implements/inherits from the IAcStPlugin2 interface.
