How to access VBA in AutoCad LT 2009.

[Anonymous]

I cannot seem to figure out how to access vba from autocad lt 2009. Any ideas on what i am doing wrong? I have searched all over the internet, and checked the help files...no luck.

I am pretty frustrated at the moment so i will just leave it at that.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks.

You can't access VBA in LT - it is not supported - you need full AutoCAD to use VBA.

Well...that explains a lot. I read somewhere though that it did... hmm must be in error.

Thanks

There are some people marketing illegal add-ons. The LT license
precludes any add-ons that would make LT more like full acad. I don't
know if there are any similar restrictions to full acad that would
prevent the use of someone else's software that would make it more like
inventor, architectural, or any of the other vertical packages.

If you have a multi-user office and only rarely need full acad
functionality, You could probably run those functions in full and save
to continue back in LT.

Question to the licensing experts out there: If you use license manager,
could you have let's say 20 installs on one license and only 1 would
work at any given time since the license server would only have the 1
license to allocate? I know that the official license for single user
allows 2 separate installs, each with its own activation but relies on
the user to act in a legal manner and only have one active at a time.
With a site license is there a limit to the number of installed
computers, or only to the number of active copies in use at any given time?

Does this apply to creating or using VBA code? If I have code already developed, can it be used to drive 2010 LT or do I need full-up ACAD? I'm not trying to do anything exotic that LT doesn't already allow through its UI- just retrieving a drawing and plotting to file. Need to know if I can get away with buying LT to run this code. Thanks!

...as was said at the beginning, no VBA in LT.... I suspect you can accomplish what you need thru a macro or a script. Post more info on your query.



Now where did that horse fall down? I need to beat him some more!
