ISch_Document interface

Overview 
This interface is the immediate ancestor interface for ISch_Sheet and ISch_Lib interfaces.
Notes 
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.
Notes 
The ISch_Document interface hierarchy is as follows;

ISch_Document Methods

BoundingRectangle_Selected method

(ISch_Document interface)
Syntax 
Function BoundingRectangle_Selected : TCoordRect;
Description 
The function returns the coordinates of the selected bounding rectangle on the current schematic document.
Example 
Rect := Sheet.BoundingRectangle_Selected;
MinX := Floor(CoordToMils(Rect.x1));
MinY := Floor(CoordToMils(Rect.y1));
MaxX := Ceil (CoordToMils(Rect.x2));
MaxY := Ceil (CoordToMils(Rect.y2));
See also 
ISch_Document interface
TCoordRect 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;

ChooseRectangleInteractively method

(ISch_Document interface)
Syntax 
Function ChooseRectangleInteractively(Var ARect : TCoordRect;Prompt1 : TDynamicString;Prompt2 : 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 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.
DelphiScript Example 
Var
CurrentSheet : ISch_Document;
SpatialIterator : ISch_Iterator;
GraphicalObj : ISch_GraphicalObject;
Rect : TCoordRect;
Begin
If SchServer = Nil Then Exit;
CurrentSheet := SchServer.GetCurrentSchDocument;
If CurrentSheet = Nil Then Exit;
Rect := TCoordRect;

If Not CurrentSheet.ChooseRectangleInteractively(Rect,
'Please select the first corner',
'Please select the final corner') Then Exit;

SpatialIterator := CurrentSheet.SchIterator_Create;
If SpatialIterator = Nil Then Exit;
Try
SpatialIterator.AddFilter_ObjectSet(MkSet(eJunction,eSchComponent));
SpatialIterator.AddFilter_Area(Rect.left, Rect.bottom, Rect.right, Rect.top);
GraphicalObj := SpatialIterator.FirstSchObject;
While GraphicalObj <> Nil Do
Begin
// do what you want with the design object
GraphicalObj := SpatialIterator.NextSchObject;
End;

Finally
CurrentSheet.SchIterator_Destroy(SpatialIterator);
End;
End;

DelphiScript Example 
SchDoc := SchServer.GetCurrentSchDocument;
ShowMessage(IntToStr(SchDoc.CountContextMenuObjects(MkSet(eSchComponent)) > 0);

With this ISch_HitTest interface, the number of objects and the object type at a particular point on the schematic document can be returned.
Example 
Doc := SchServer.GetCurrentSchDocument;
If Doc = Nil Then Exit;

Doc.ChooseLocationInteractively(ALocation,'Choose a location to click');
AHitTestMode := eHitTest_AllObjects;
AHitTest := Doc.CreateHitTest(AHitTestMode,ALocation);
