Beginning VBA

[Anonymous]

I am a complete newbie to VBA and need to learn the basics somewhat
quickly, I know C/C++ already so I am not new to programming but am just
looking for opinions on where to start with VBA as far as using it
specifically within AutoCAD. Thanks to everyone.

Aaahhhhh, didn't realize it was separate. In that case I apologize for the
off topic post, "customization" seemed general enough to me, thanks for the
tip.

What am I missing here? Is this not "autodesk.autocad.customiszation.VBA"?

The messages were moved to VBA from the general
Lisp/Customization group.

Matthew, you could get a book. To get started, you could just used the online developer's guide. Help>Autocad online manuals>ActiveX and VBA>ActiveX and VBA Developer's guide. There's info on acad's object model as well as basic language info and creating vba projects in acad. Here is a link to an online book. http://www.vbdesign.net/cadpages/resources/steel/contents.htm

Mathew

Get AutoCAD 2000 VBA by Joe Sutphin and Using Visual Basic with AutoCAD by Andrew G. Roe.

Both top class books. These helped me from LISP to VBA with relative ease. Although I am still a beginner I am developing quite quickly with more help from this group and the online help. There is also a new book by Joe available, which I am going to get ASAP.

Roy Meaden.

Thank you Ed and Roy for the answers. There is no lack of information out
there, that's for sure. Not a whole lot geared towards beginner's but a
lot of info.
