Available since Oasis montaj version: 5.0
License: Available to anyone.  

Namespace: GeoEngine.Core.GXNetX
Assembly: geoengine.core.gxnetx (in geoengine.core.gxnetx.dll)
Notes
For backward compatibility with GXs not employing the GetXYZChan_DB function, the following behaviour has been introduced as of v5.1.3: (also true for "Y"). iExistSymb_DB(hDB, "X", <define>DB_SYMB_CHAN</define>) is now equivalent to: GetXYZChan_DB(hDB, <define>DB_CHAN_X</define>, sXCh); iExistSymb_DB(hDB, sXCh, <define>DB_SYMB_CHAN</define>); In other words, the current X or Y is searched for, not necessarily the literal "X" or "Y". This ensures that newer databases, which might have "Easting" and "Northing" (or other similar names) instead of "X" and "Y" will still work with older GXs expecting "X" and "Y". The new iExistChan_DB searches using the exact channel name.
