Input to VB program from LISP

Anonymous — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 14:40:02 GMT

I want to use the "Profile Sample" program supplied with C3D to create an alignment and profile. I am creating the stations and elevations in LISP and want to send them to the "Profile" program. I have seen in a C# program the use of an Array to send the data. I would like to do the same. eg.

LISP - (profile_sample sta1 elev1 sta2 elev2 sta3 elev3 ...etc)

VB - What is the code to pass this data to the Profile Sample program?

I am VERY new to VB programming. I have trouble giving up LISP.

Hi Dave,

Did you take a look at this earlier ?

'Passing arguments to .NET-defined commands'
http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2006/09/passing_argumen.html

BTW - I won't suggest you to try LISP in Civil 3D application programming unless you want to do some very basic stuff.

And, if you want to get started with .NET programming for AutoCAD / Civil 3D, the following resources would be useful -

Thanks,
