Since classification names are displayed to the user in AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset, their names should be localized. The API to use classifications within area calculations pays respect to that through the usage of resources to define the classification names of the classification set of a standard. Before your can apply and use classifications in your custom area calculation standard, you need to define them in a resource file that you need to add to your existing project (alternatively, you could create a resource-only assembly that is referenced). Please refer to the help of your development environment or the MSDN Online Library for information about creating string resources. It is assumed that the reader of this appendix is able to create and build a project that contains localized strings. Within this example, a resource file that implements one string table is assumed that defines the following global/local string pairs:
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Office | Office Area |
| Exterior | Street Frontage |
