IConnection Interface
Overview
The IConnection interface represents whether the wire or bus connection has a manual junction on it or not, with location, wire or bus objects count and the thickness of wire or bus objects.
The object count denotes the number of connections from this connection location for example one end of a capacitor can have two or more wire connections because it is tied to the Ground as well as to other points on the schematic. A connection that has 3 or more wire / bus objects denotes that a junction (system generated or manually placed) is required to tied the connections together. Thus you can use the IConnection interface to determine the number of wire or bus connections at the specified location.
The project that has schematics need to be compiled first before IConnection interfaces can be extracted with valid data.
Notes
The ISch_Sheet interface has the IConnectionsArray interface which in turn has the IConnection interface.
The ISch_Document can be either ISch_Sheet or ISch_Lib interfaces depending on which document (Schematic Sheet or Schematic Library) you are working with.
A manual junction (placed by an user) may signify a forced connection of at least 3 or more connections on a schematic document.

IConnectionsArray Interface
Overview
The IConnectionsArray represents the bus and wire connections in a schematic document. Bus and wire connections that have more than 3 connections could be connected by an automatic junction or a manual junction (placed by an user).
A schematic with valid buses and wires will have connections. An IConnectionsArray interface has all the connections for this schematic sheet and each element in the IConnectionsArray interface is a IConnection interface type.

ChooseLocationInteractively method
(ISch_Document interface)
Syntax
Function ChooseLocationInteractively(Var ALocation : TLocation; Prompt : TDynamicString) : Boolean;
Description
To monitor the mouse movement and clicks from your script, the ISch_Document document interface and its descendant interfaces, ISch_Lib and ISch_Sheet interfaces has several interactive feedback methods. The ChooseLocationInteractively when invoked prompts the user to set the location (point) on the schematic sheet.
The ChooseLocationinteractively method can be used to fetch the coordinates of the clicked point on the schematic sheet and can be used for the ISch_HitTest interface.
Example
If SchServer = Nil Then Exit;
CurrentSheet := SchServer.GetCurrentSchDocument;
If CurrentSheet = Nil Then Exit;
ALocation := TLocation; //
//Using the ChooseLocationInteractively method to capture the
// location's coordinates clicked on the sheet by the user.
If Not CurrentSheet.ChooseLocationInteractively(ALocation,
'Please select the location') Then Exit;

Description
To monitor the mouse movement and clicks from your script, the ISch_Document document interface and its descendant interfaces, ISch_Lib and ISch_Sheet interfaces has several interactive feedback methods. The ChooseRectangleinteractively when invoked prompts the user to set the two corners of the bounding rectangle on the schematic sheet.
The ChooseRectangleinteractively method can be used to fetch the coordinates of the bounding rectangle (of TCoordRect type) for the Spatial iterator where it needs the bounds of a rectangle on the schematic document to search within.

GetState_HotSpotGridOn method
(ISch_Document interface)
Syntax
Function GetState_HotSpotGridOn : Boolean;
Description
The electrical grid supports the Schematic Editor's guided wiring feature. When you are moving an electrical object in the workspace, and when it falls within the electrical grid range of another electrical object that you could connect to, the object you are moving will snap to the fixed object and a hot spot or highlight dot will appear. This dot guides you as to where a valid connection can be made. The electrical grid (hot spot) should be set slightly lower than the current snap grid or else it becomes difficult to position electrical objects one snap grid apart.
The procedure gets the boolean value whether the hot spot grid is on or not and is used in the HotSpotGridOn property.

This property determines whether the reference zones can be displayed or not and is supported by the GetState_ReferenceZonesOn and SetState_ReferenceZonesOn methods.
Example
Procedure TurnOffReferenceZones;
Var
I : Integer;
Project : IProject;
Doc : IDocument;
CurrentSch : ISch_Document;
Begin
Project := GetWorkspace.DM_FocusedProject;
If Project = Nil Then Exit;
For I := 0 to Project.DM_LogicalDocumentCount
- 1 Do
Begin
Doc := Project.DM_LogicalDocuments(I);
If Doc.DM_DocumentKind = 'SCH' Then
Begin
CurrentSch := SchServer.GetSchDocumentByPath(Doc.DM_FullPath);
If (CurrentSch <> Nil) And CurrentSch.ReferenceZonesOn Then
Begin
SchServer.RobotManager.SendMessage(CurrentSch.I_ObjectAddress, c_BroadCast, SCHM_BeginModify, c_NoEventData);
CurrentSch.ReferenceZonesOn := False;
SchServer.RobotManager.SendMessage(CurrentSch.I_ObjectAddress, c_BroadCast, SCHM_EndModify , c_NoEventData);
End;
End;
End;

ISch_Sheet Interface
Overview
The ISch_Sheet interface represents an existing schematic document open in Altium Designer. A schematic document can have bus and wiring connections which are represented by the IConnectionsArray interface.
You can modify or set the document's preference settings.
You can iterate design objects in a Schematic or library document, see ISch_Iterator interface for details.
You can invoke the ChooseLocationInteractively or ChooseRectangleInteractively methods to obtain coordinates from the Schematic sheet or library sheet.
You can create a library from a project that has components
You can check whether objects exist on a particular point on a schematic or library document.

ISch_Lib Interface
Overview
This interface represents an existing library document open in Altium Designer. A library is composed of library pages and each page represents the symbol (schematic library component).
You can modify or set the document's preference settings.
You can invoke the ChooseLocationInteractively or ChooseRectangleInteractively methods to obtain coordinates from the Schematic sheet or library sheet.
You can check whether objects exist on a particular point on a schematic or library document.
You can iterate design objects in a library document, with the library iterator. This iterator is created by the SchLibIterator_Create function.
You can invoke the LibIsEmpty method to check if the library is empty (ie no symbols in the library) or not.
Notes
Due to the nature of a library document, all symbols (library components) are displayed on their library pages, so you iterate through the library to fetch symbols.
