autocad error codes

Where do I find a list of error codes for Autocad VBA. I searched this group for this topic. This question has been asked a few times but never answered ??

Hi Fred,

VBA help states that error code numbers can be anything from 0 - 65535 with
0 - 512 being reserved for VBA and the rest user defined. Maybe the "Raise"
method can give you what you need.

Gary

Dim x As Long

On Error Resume Next

For x = 0 To 512
Err.Raise x
Debug.Print x & vbTab & Err.Description
Err.Clear
Next

Sorry, but no good. Error numbers are mapped to the description. 0 to 512 are Visual Basic errors (type mismatch, block variable width not set, ..), and the rest is for you, or AutoCAD, or whatever....

But you wont get more info on the error then the error's description from the number. Moreover, AutoCAD's raises are all messed up. You cant realy get that mutch info from them other than "Method XXXXXX of the interface IACADXXXX faled !" I have documented all errors manually with common causes/fixes in our context, but everyone's is different......

Hope this sends you in the right direction!

Nyme,
I know that error codes 0 - 512 are VBA eror codes
see list below. I was looking for AutoCad error codes
numbers like -2145386420. The only way I know of ACad error codes is to cause erros. I handle lots of error
like this

err.clear
on error resume next

Set objBlockRef = .ModelSpace.InsertBlock(insertionPnt, strDwgWithPath, 1#, 1#, 1#, 0)
If err <> 0 then
msgbox " error inserting block " & strDwgWithPath
err.clear
end If

We are getting this error 52 (bad file name or number ) when we try to save an autocad drawing as pdf. How to resolve this?

I have found it next to impossible to grasp, or learn from 2018 AutoCAD without having the definitions to the error codes! How and where do I get these illusive little devils?!? I have several projects on hold because I can not figure out why the program does not function as it should, or complete the task at hand!

What I do is use an error handler like the code shown below. I then set a break point in the sub and step through the code to find out what the error is. Then I modify the select case section to add a handler for the newly found error. Add a watch for Err.Number to see what the error is.

Sub Test()
    On Error GoTo Err_Control

    'main work goes here
    'Add line labels to return to various places in your logic.
    
Exit_Here:
    Exit Sub
Err_Control:
    Select Case Err.Number
    'Add your Case selections here
    'Case Is = 1000
        'Handle error
        'Err.Clear
        'Resume Exit_Here
    Case Else
        MsgBox Err.Number & ", " & Err.Description, , "Test"
        Err.Clear
        Resume Exit_Here
    End Select
End Sub
