How to run vba code in autocad


















Now, whatever you specify executes each time you open or create a drawing. Remember that when you first start AutoCAD, both the startup and event codes execute. Anyone familiar with my posts on the newsgroups should know I don't advocate using the SendCommand or mixing programming languages.

I encourage you to explore using multiple RX files and to venture into more event programming. Be sure to test any event operations on noncritical drawings to avoid those unexpected results mentioned earlier.

The idea for this article came when I noticed the same question repeated over and over again on the newsgroups and realized that most VBA programmers have no idea how to do this. That's it! It's very straight forward. This command can conveniently be stored in a toolbar or pallette using the normal process for editing the user interface — CUI.

If so, I assure you this is the tip of a very large iceberg. Code is executed from the top down in the same manner you would read a book, unless you tell VB to do something else. This is the first line of code. This line creates what is known as a variable. A variable is basically a memory bank with a name.

We specified the name MyString, but it could have been called something else if we liked. In this case, it is what is known as a String variable, or a Text-String. This basically means that anything that is attempted to be stored into the variable MyString should be interepretted as Text. If it is not text, VB will try to convert it to text. This line of code shows you how to set the contents of a variable.

The text after the equals sign must be enclosed inside quotation marks. If it was not enclosed in quotation marks, VB would try to execute the text as code, and an error would occur the text would also be red. So enclosing it in quotation marks tells VB not to interpret this as code, but use it as a text value. This line of code causes a messagebox to be displayed. The command for doing so is MsgBox.

A script is a macro, a list of commands that you can run all at once, and as many times as necessary, allowing you to automate tasks that would take a long time if you did them manually. Using Scripts in Autocad can be very powerful and you can run them on objects in one drawing, or on many drawings. Visual Basic for Applications VBA is a programming environment created by Microsoft that is built into applications to automate operations. It provides tools that you can drag and drop to build a graphical user interface GUI , and a programming language that you can use to interact with AutoCAD objects.

Click local drive Applications Utilities Terminal. Press Enter. The application opens the drawing and executes the commands in the script file. A greeting Solved! Message 2 of Message 3 of Hello Miguel: It has worked. Thank you very much. Message 4 of Message 5 of Message 6 of Message 7 of Ed, Thanks for the quick response!

Centroidfinder" But I'm still getting the exact same issue. Message 8 of Message 9 of EDIT: tried to attach, but the site wouldn't let me. Message 10 of Message 11 of Message 12 of Message 13 of Here you go. Message 14 of Message 15 of Message 16 of See if it works with lisp. Paste this to the command line. Centroidfinder" If this works, you may want to consider creating a lisp file for your cui.
