Hi,

except of the form-controls you can copy&paste the code .... 😉 ... maybe not the besst guess, to have other ideas or tips it would be great to know what you like to do? Just extract code to get an ascii-file does not make anything working.

If you want to get the code in VB6 running or you want to port to dotNET or you'd like to ....? Let's know 😉

It is possible to embed (attach permanently) VBA project to Autocad file. See VBAMAN

http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%202010%20User%20Documentation/index.html?url=WS1a91938...

I have received such files(100's) from consultant and trying to EXTRACT (aka detach) VBA project not one by one, but all together.

The fanny part is that project is empty and consultant insist that that the did not embedded in the first place

Background

14 years of VBA/VB

20 years of Lisp/Vlisp

Hi,

>> The fanny part is that project is empty

What do you need to extract if it's empty? I could not imagine that the words "extract" and "detach" do mean the same. If so then sorry, I don't know how to detach an embedded project.

To get the VBA detached I have one idea for you to try: disable the loading of VB-embedded objects in AutoCAD, then open each drawing and do a _WBLOCK with the option "complete drawing".

Thanks alfred,

Though it did not help me completely, now I can ask the consultant to uncheck Auto Embedding and resave all drawings.

I will mark your post as accepted solution
