C++ Programming and VBA in AutoCAD 2002

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I do not know how to start C++ programming in AutoCAD 2002. I think that C++ programming can be done in the VBA of AutoCAD 2002. Please help and give me the instructions for getting on C++ programming in AutoCAD 2002.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

You need the ObjectARX SDK (free from Autodesk) and Visual C++ 6.0,
SP2 or better (not free from Microsoft). ALso, budget money for books;
*lots* of books. Before you can even make a dent in ARX, you need
knowledge of C++ then you'll have to learn the intricacies of
ObjectARX.

Hi Scott,
C++ isn't done in VBA. The 2 are entirely different languages. VBA stands
for Visual Basic for Applications and it is self contained in acad as
well as the office products and a few other softwares. It is compatible
with and based on Microsoft Visual Basic version 6. For C++, you are
looking for the autodesk.autocad.objectarx news group. You will need to
have visual C++ and download the ObjectArx Software Development Kit from
the autodesk web site. Good Luck,
-Josh

Thank you for your responses.
I have hard time in Autodesk WWW Site to find/locate ObjectARX SDK or ObjectARX Development Kit or Development Tools for the free ObjectARX program and the ObjectARX Reference. ( I tried http://www.autodesk.com => Autodesk Developers=> Product Index, then I was lost completely there and not able to locate ObjectARX for the ObjectARX Reference, etc. !!!???) Please kindly give me your specific directions to get the ObjectARX Program and Reference.

Thanks again,
Scott Chang
