Is DOTNET only something that can be done from Visual Studio, or can it also
be used like Visual Basic for Applications from within the AutoCAD
interface?

If your using VBA or VB6 your coding style doesn't change a bit. With
VB.NET you still can code the same as always but you have available now an
API written for .NET which changes your coding style and has a slight
learning curve. If your still using 2004 or older, you can't learn anything
new. If your using 2005 or newer you can start learning the new .NET API by
firing up a new Visual Studio windows application or class library and
setting a reference to the acdbmgd.dll and acmgd.dll. You still have the
COM Interop to fall back on if your in a time crunch. Speaking from my own
experience, there is not a whole lot of difference when you get right down
to it.
