Space Rules
Customizing Area Calculation Standard
.NET API
§Each area calculation standard is a separate .NET module
§Each module includes:
§Space calculation methods
§Generation of the space classification
§Place the new module in the following folder: 
    “<ACA install>\Calculation Standards\” 
ACA will automatically load it at startup
§.NET class library
§References
    AecSpaceOffsetRuleManager.dll
    AcdbMgd.dll
    AecBaseMgd.dll
    AecArchMgd.dll
Another advanced API area is Space Rules. Area calculation standards are usually country/organization specific. ACA comes with 3 predefined rules. If those three rules do not exactly fit my need, how can I adapt them?  Can we define rules of our own?  ACA exposes the framework for this feature, providing a way to customize Area Calculation standard using the .NET API.
