Mastering AutoCAD VBA

Autodesk first included Microsoft’s Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in AutoCAD Release 14. Combining the power of AutoCAD and Visual Basic provides endless opportunities for creating impressive customized applications ranging from streamlining the routine tasks you currently perform using AutoCAD to creating drawings in seconds that would normally take hours. The book takes you step-by-step through how to create macros to automate the routine tasks you currently do in AutoCAD. It shows you how to create powerful Windows applications so that you can run your macros at the click of a button. You’ll quickly learn how much fun it is to build graphical user interfaces (GUIs) by simply dragging and dropping controls from a toolbox to a UserForm—you already do much the same thing when you develop drawings using AutoCAD.
The material in this book is compatible with AutoCAD 14, AutoCAD 2000, and AutoCAD 2000i.
