VBA breaks 2004/2005 Revcloud revision cloud command

[Anonymous]

Has anyone experience this or can duplicate it? Using the unnamed profile. No VBA projects loaded. Revcloud works fine. Then type VBAIDE and return to the CAD editor. AutoCAD creates a starter project. Now, the best Revcloud will do is a single point. Even if you close the VBAIDE and use vbaman to unload the project, you won't be able to restore the Revcloud to functionality. Is there a work around? In 2005, I'd like to use the command with caligraphy in another routine.

This has been identified as a bug, but I'm not sure of it's status. The 2005 beta available for download on the subscription site still exhibits this behavior. I don't know about the shipping version. Not much help, but that is my take on the problem. Mike Weaver "R.

No change - the Express Tools haven't been touched. -- ___________________________ Mike Tuersley CADalyst's AutoCAD Clinic Rand IMAGINiT Technologies

That was my guess, but didn't know without having seen the shipping version.

Technically, its no longer an express tool. Therefore it ought to be more solid. I don't know why it's a problem for some, and not others. All I know is that if I enter the vbaide, I get the errant behavior.

Thanks for trying. It is so reproducible here. There must be something unique in our environment. I guess I could do a camtasia screen capture to offer more proof not that anyone is doubting it. - Ted "R.

From ADN: I was finally able to reproduce the problem you described. I logged a Change Request against this behavior: ID 557262 Revcloud behaves unpredictably following VBAIDE command Unfortunately, there is no workaround as of yet. Note: We have logged this issue/wishlist as Change Request number 557262. We recommend that you make a note of this number for future reference. To check the status of this Change Request, please quote this number in a new Case submission and we will provide you with a status update. Change Request numbers should not be confused with Case Ids (as quoted in the subject line of emails from DevHelp) - they are assigned independently and have no direct relationship.

Update: This failure also occurs with the VBAMAN command, and loading a VBA project with the Visual LISP functions.

I posted a complaint about the same issue a few months ago when we upgraded to AutoCAD 2004. I think that since 2004 it became a standard command. It used to work fine when it was part of the express tools. Now the only way we can used it is by drawing a box around and then selecting it. As you can see in AutoCAD 2005 the problem continue to exist. May be those who design AutoCAD don't have to use it!

I have my own cloud command if you are interested. http://64.227.78.21/empower/exchange/submissionpopup.asp?SubmissionNumber=EX001005 -- ---- Ed ---- "HJohn" wrote in message news:20760178.1082144452559.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum2... > I posted a complaint about the same issue a few months ago when we upgraded to AutoCAD 2004.

I can reproduce that error, kind of. VBAIDE doesn't trigger it but there is something in some drawings that does. Can't tell what quite yet.

I've just learned from another forum that if you set ORTHO on the revcloud works again.
