Unless you clearly indicate what kind of project you are doing, it would be difficult to answer your question.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>VBA is an environment of development built into AutoCAD and run inside AutoCAD and uses AutoCAD COM API. It has nothing to do with .NET or AutoCAD .NET API.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If you are using Visual Studio, you could do 2 different things against AutoCAD: you can create an EXE application (console, or win form or WPF) and use AutoCAD COM API to control AutoCAD (with either C# or VB.NET, which does not matter here); Or you can create DLL project as AutoCAD plugin with AutoCAD .NET API (again, C# or VB.NET, does not matter). With these 2 different types project, the answer to your not so clearly asked question could be quite different.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 12 Oct 2022 14:14:48 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net-forum/i-have-created-net-vba-to-open-the-autocad-file-now-i-want-to/m-p/11477732#M11419 norman.yuan 2022-10-12T14:14:48Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net-forum/i-have-created-net-vba-to-open-the-autocad-file-now-i-want-to/m-p/11479276#M11420 <P>I have written a .dll program to draw drawings in AutoCad which can be loaded with Netload. But I want to make an application to do the same and I dont want to netload it. Rather I want an .exe to load a form and draw drawings in autocad. Also I want that program to detect if the autocad is loaded or not. If loaded then draw on that activated drawing.
