Can anyone point me to a resource that outlines the differences between programming in Autocad and programming in DWGeditor?

We're in the process of developing a VBA program to automatically generate assembly drawings of PCB assemblies based on data exported from Orcad. The program currently works as desired in the full version of Autocad that we have in-house but we would like to be able to generate these assembly drawings on more than one machine and DWGeditor is the obvious choice for these other machines, the cost being what it is. We've tried to get the VBA program running in DWGeditor but it pretty much fails at startup. I'm by no means well versed in Autocad or programming, but I'm hoping someone has tackled a similar task of porting VBA programs from Autocad to DWGeditor.

I've looked through the DWGeditor "help" and found the following:

VBA - Supported, depending on your version of DWGeditor

What exactly does that mean?!?!?!?!

 
The VBA interface is not the same as that of AutoCAD. Have you looked at the "Developer Reference" section of the DWGeditor help? The entire DWGeditor VBA interface is documented there.
