ccromw Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi I am just starting out with vba programming. I was wondering if someone could help me out with something I am trying to do. Basically I am building a form and when I hit the command button I want to be able to select a polyline from autocad ,and have the area of the polyline and length and width show up in textboxes on the form. I would like this to be in feet and inches if possible. I may just need an example I could work off of. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 If you are just starting out in programming, I would advise that you steer clear of VBA as it is being dropped by ADesk for other API's, see here: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32857 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Mac Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Any advice on which to chose and where to start? Well, if you wanted to stick to that area, perhaps a .NET or C#, but I believe the power is in C++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
