How change coordinate system using API?

How change coordinate system using API?

How change coordinate system using API?

(OP)
I got some macro which gives some info about normal to selected earlier surface and root.All this data are relatively to deafault Coordinate System(CS).
I wondered how I could change CS,and I found ability to put in SW menu (Insert/ReferenceGeometry/CoordinateSystem)new CS.But unfortunetly still my data are relatively to default CS.
Last thing to do is to automating this using API.I mean give some opportunity for user to put new CS attached for exemple to earlier selected vertex of part.
If anybody has got some idea how to solve it, please advice me.

RE: How change coordinate system using API?

Everything is relative to the default CS.  I could be wrong, but I think you must programmatically construct a a relative transformation from the NewCS to the feature in question.
