Remarks

This function is used to store custom data into project database. The custom data is represented by AddOnObject.

This data is avaible in teamwork only in clinet side, it won’t be send to the teamwork server. If you need to ensure that the AddOnObject send between users use ACAPI_AddOnObject_CreateObject.

The content handle will be copied inside the function so it has to be deleted after the function call.

The stored data can be accessed using objectGuid parameter. The objectName parameter can also be used for identifying the custom data. It can be also emtpy. Archicad does not check if the name is unique.

If you need to ensure that only one AddOnObject exists with the same name, then use Unique AddOnObjects. See more: ACAPI_AddOnObject_CreateUniqueObject.
