What is the best way to automatize an autocad block ?

[Anonymous]

So, I'm a begginer in autocad and I'm trying to make projects more practical by automatizing some blocks. Now, by studying I've seen that I have three options so far:

1.  VBA inside autocad
2. Autolisp pre-made routines
3. Autolisp self-made routines

Now, I want to know which one of these are the most precise in automatizing a process and which is faster to learn and apply.

Describe in greater detail what you mean by "automatizing some blocks."  Automatizing what  about them?  The defining of them?  The Inserting of them?  The drawing of the pieces for them leading to defining them?  Something else?

If it's the defining of them, and "some blocks" involves Blocks with similar content but with definable differences [e.g. same width but different height], look into Dynamic Blocks, using parameters with which one Block definition  can be used for multiple versions.  [I'm not well versed in making those, but plenty of other people here can help you more than I can.]
