VBA routine

[Anonymous]

I have a VBA routine that I received from a customer to use to create
glass sizes on curtain wall elevations. They have several inhouse menus
loaded when they start Acad that obviously give the VBA routine a start
command of GS at the command line. I of course don't have all of their
customization loaded so GS does not work for me. I know nothing about
VBA code and am wondering if there is a way to start the code without
whatever creates the keyboard shortcut? I'd have to get their permission
to post the code if that's what it takes
thanks,
Dave

Pick one from the list and click run.

If you're lucky there will only be one macro to pick from. If there is more
than one, start with the one who's name makes the most sense.

Hi,

After following Gary's advice and finding the Macro name to run the command,
define a command GS by adding the following to one of your automatically
loading lisp files.

(Function C:GS ()
(VL-LOAD-COM)
(VL-VBARUN "Filename.DVB!MacroName")
)

thanks for the help! I'm getting a syntax error when running the above code

Command: (Function C:GS ()
(_> (VL-LOAD-COM)
(_> (VL-VBARUN "GlassSizer.dvb!basGlassSize.GlassSize")
(_> )

Error: syntax error

I'd also like to autoload the .dvb file. Would this work if added to the
above?

(VL-VBALOAD "GlassSizer.dvb")

Hi Dave,

The VL-VBARUN command checks if the program file is loaded and loads it if
necessary.

Hence the VL-VBALOAD function is not necessary.

The syntax looks OK. Unless you have more than one "GlassSize" sub in the
program try

(VL-VBARUN "GlassSizer.dvb!GlassSize") from the command line.

This assumes the GlassSizer.dvb program is in the AutoCAD search path.
Otherwise you need to add a path string to allow the file to be found.

Thanks Miss VBA Wiz! 🙂 the macro name should have been !GlassSize not
!GlassSize.Glasssize. Works now
