Used VBA and Autocad 2023 LT

[mathieu.sinoquet]

Hello everyone, 
I have recently Autocad 2023 and, I need to build a drawing design rule for engineering services.

For more ease on the drawing, I will use VBA pluging, and at the same time, I will pursue autocad 2023 liscence for my colleagues, but the question is, is VBA pluging available on Autocad LT? 

Thank's for your answer !

@mathieu.sinoquet Autocad LT is not supporting Vba tools. I know that only complete release of Autocad is supporting Vba tools.

Ok, thank for this info, but i think that i will takes the full version Autocad for my colleagues.

Keep in mind that you can rent AutoCAD by the month so you can develop your plugin.

[mathieu.sinoquet]

Alright, so with the LT version you can't develop or create, but you can use the pugin?

[Ed__Jobe · Accepted solution]

No, LT cannot use any plugins, either lisp, VBA or .NET. Only the full version can be customized.

@Ed__Jobe If I remember well you can load and run lsp app on LT (no VBA ONLY LISP) but you cannot modify or debugging or create.

Of course I'm talking of LT release at least ten years ago.

It's always been this way since I can remember. See the API's section of this document. LISP is not like the other api's. You don't really need the IDE, you can enter lisp right at the command line. This would be the same as loading from a file. I'm not sure that LT even comes with the Express Tools, which are mainly done in lisp. To test LT, you could type (princ) at the command line. It should return NIL if lisp is supported.

If you go to the Autodesk App Store, you won't even find LT listed since it can't load any plugins. ARX files are not supported either.
