Book Description
This book teaches how to automate AutoCAD design tasks using the embedded Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Language. AutoCAD is possibly the best selling CAD software in the world, and while not a Microsoft product, does include Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), allowing graphic designers to control their environment programmatically.
VBA allows you to take complete control of AutoCAD and to automate all your AutoCAD drawing tasks. With VBA you can automate and customize everything you do in Auto CAD 2004, so you can work faster and more efficiently. AutoCAD 2004 VBA provides a unique opportunity to build custom applications to create and manipulate AutoCAD drawings, interact with a user and plot your drawings. You can even use VBA to create designs that modify themselves based on user input or computational results. This book provides you with a complete reference to the AutoCAD VBA language. This book is for anyone who wants to take full advantage of the VBA programming language that comes with AutoCAD 2004. If you're new to VBA programming, this book will give you enough information to start making AutoCAD work for you. This book is also intended for power users who want to take advantage of the advanced features of AutoCAD 2004 VBA and who need a fast reference to the full AutoCAD object model.
