how to read a dvb file that coudn't be loaded

[antmjrB9A5G]

Hi all. I have an old dvb file I wrote some 20 years ago or so. Now I just would like to read te source file, so to say, but it seems not possible: if I import my file into the vba editor of autocad, I'm told the file coudn't be loaded.

In the VBA editor, is it possible to open a dvb file just for reading?

How could I read it otherwise?

Try this:

First install the VBA editor (does not come with AutoCAD install anymore)

Next follow the directions from the DVB sample code library

1. Start AutoCAD and drag a sample into AutoCAD.

2. On the AutoCAD Tools menu, click Macro > Macros.

3. In the Macros dialog box, in the Macro list, select a macro to use or view.

4. Do one of the following:

* To use the selected macro, click Run.

* To view the code of the selected macro in the VBA Integrated Development Environment (VBA IDE), click Edit.

If that does not work then you may not be able to open it anymore.
