(vbs) VbScript documentation for ACA and AMEP

jtm2020hyo — Thu, 21 Oct 2021 16:22:14 GMT

I am trying to find documentation for VbScript in AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD MEP because I have not same or similar results when I am trying run some scripts samples like other pages.

For example, here some loops:

return error:

Anyone could share any document to learn how to use VBS in ACA and AMEP???

I assume you mean that the property set data is not changing when your script runs. The problem is that x is not a property. It's just a local variable in your code. You have to refer to a property by using its name in brackets, like "[Total]". To insert a definition, use the Insert Property Definitions panel in the lower left of the dialog you showed. See this post for reference and sample code.

as far as i got, the VBS need leave a "RESULT =", for example, here already do not leave error but this is already not a loop (expected result = "11111")

here another sample:

but is not possible recreate another samples than works in a notepad:

PD: sample attached in the link above.

Show a screen capture with the whole dialog showing. Don't cut off the bottom half.

Do you want the result to print in the command line or are you trying to change a AEC property? The whole purpose of running a vbscript as a property set definition is to set the value of a property.

here the complete image, I did not used Insert Property Definition:

... and I wish to use in a future both (for print and change AEC properties).
