Visual Basic 6.0 and AutoCAD
Visual Basic 6.0 and AutoCAD
(OP)
I am currently working on a project where we are updating an old program that generates terrible drawings as a dxf file. I want to rewrite this process so it will generate a dxf & dwg file using variables supplied by a Database via VB. People outside the company use the dxf and inside we use dwg. I need help on where to really start and prove this is the way to go. Thanks in advance!
RE: Visual Basic 6.0 and AutoCAD
If you are using VB, or VBA in AutoCAD for that matter, you can browse the AutoCAD object library to see the objects, methods and properties available in the API. The AutoCAD help also contains some good examples. There is also a comprehensive book that I have found useful entitled AutoCAD 2000 VBA Programmers Reference by Joe Sutphin.
If you have any specific programming questions or need some sample code to get you started, please post the questions in the AutoCAD forum. I think that other members would get more use out of it there.
Hope this helps!
