Thanx for the effort!
Yeah, this forum has been sucking for many months now, and it's not getting any better. One would think that with all the REVENUES that Autodesk rakes in annually, and with how badly their VAR support sucks (and always has!), that they could at least keep their Help Forum working well so we can get the answers we need. Anyway...
You talk about things I need to learn, but I have not idea where or how to learn them. I'm beginning to grow tired of hacking away trying this or that to see if I can happen upon some code that works. That's the stupidest way to do anything, ever. So I just want to learn this stuff without having to take a college course in it. And I don't want to just memorize everything like I did when I was young, b/c I don't have that capacity any longer. I need to learn the structure and syntax, and when to do what, how. Far as I'm concerned, coding is a clusterf**k of personality. Few people know how to write good programs, from what I've seen in the industry. In fact, one place I worked, I sat next to a guy who was an expert at C++ VB.Net, etc., and also did WonderWare for the local production plants, and when he got on the phone w/the MicroSnot tech people, he ended up cussing them out and teaching them the things they didn't even know so they could talk to their highest up experts to see if they could get an answer for him, which nearly never came. What's that tell you about programmers in the 'industry'? I can tell plenty of stories...
At this point, I'm inclined to do this in VB.Net, but that appears to be a huge learning curve. I'm trying to do it in Inventor VBA, but nearly all my Inventor rules are done in iLogic, or a mix of iLogic + VBA. So really, I'm kind of stuck between two worlds, which is Autodesk's doing, NOT MINE.
