Solution Autodesk has begun the transition of VB customization from VBA to.NET technology. This transition will occur over a few years. During this time, Autodesk will provide documentation and other assistance to help our customers and developers migrate from VBA to this new automation technology. Starting with AutoCAD 2010, VBA is no longer part of the default AutoCAD installation and must be downloaded and installed separately. If you utilize VBA macros in your work environment, they will no longer work unless the VBA module is installed on your system.

When you run a command that requires VBA, a message dialog box will be displayed stating that VBA is no longer installed with AutoCAD and directing you to a website where you can download the VBA module. Autodesk is making the VBA module available for download at the following location: VBA components posted on this website will be available for all languages that AutoCAD and industry-specific versions of AutoCAD support. To deploy the VBA download in an enterprise environment, you must download and extract the VBA Enabler and then run the following script: ' - ' Scripted installation for VBA Enabler option explicit ' define variables dim shell dim productType dim strInstallLevel dim strSourcePath ' Script initialization Set shell = CreateObject('WScript.Shell') productType = 'BonusPack' strInstallLevel=5 ' 5 installs everything, 3 installs typical ' ' Source to install from (e.g.

Create a Plugin for AutoCAD 20 Jun, 2013 By: Expand your customization skills as you program a command using Visual Studio.NET. In, we learned how to use the.NET programming environment to extract drawing information, create and modify AutoCAD entities, and modify entities programmatically.

We primarily focused on running applications from the.NET environment, accessing AutoCAD with component object model (COM) interoperability. In a nutshell, this means we were using both.NET and COM technologies to manipulate AutoCAD in ways similar to those of the built-in VBA environment of years past. In this article, we will create an AutoCAD plugin, a custom command that can be run directly from the AutoCAD environment.

We will focus on.NET techniques, introducing a new concept called Transactions to create AutoCAD entities programmatically. Specifically, we will develop a custom command that creates a circle object and some accompanying text in one fell swoop.

As before, this example uses the Visual Basic.NET programming environment, although you can use Visual C#.NET instead. To complete this exercise, you'll need either Visual Studio.NET or the. (If you're using AutoCAD 2013, you should also download the to run this example. Even though it's not an ObjectARX example, the necessary references are located in the SDK for 2013.) Create a Plugin. Start Visual Studio and create a new project by clicking File New Project. In the New Project dialog box, select Class Library, then type a name and file location at the bottom of the box, as shown here. Click OK to close the New Project dialog box.

Click View Solution Explorer to display the Solution Explorer. Double-click on My Project in the Solution Explorer; the Project Properties screen will appear. Click the References tab on the left. Click the Add button to display the Add Reference dialog box. In the Add Reference dialog box, click the Browse tab, and navigate to where your AutoCAD DLL files are located. If you downloaded the ObjectARX SDK, they are likely located in the ObjectARX 2013 inc-win32 or ObjectARX 2013 inc-win64 folder, depending on which version of AutoCAD you are using.

Select the AcCoreMgd.dll, AcDbMgd.dll, and AcMgd.dll files by clicking on one and Ctrl-clicking on the others. (Note: This example is for AutoCAD 2013. If you are using another version, you can download the ObjectARX SDK for that version and reference the DLL files listed earlier.). Click OK to close the Add Reference dialog box. In the Properties window, change the Copy Local properties of the three DLL files to False. In Solution Explorer, rename the class from Class1 to CreateMyCircle.

Double-click on the CreateMyCircle.vb file, and modify the code to read as shown below.
