AutoCAD VBA

[sdubbs]

I'm trying to run some code from AutoCAD 2006 in AutoCAD 2011 but it's failing on the thisdrawing.open

 

 
Sub main()
ThisDrawing.Open "C:\CGP1-L-099-PI1-93327-09.DWG"
End Sub

 

Run-time error '-2145386445 (80200033)':

 

Filer error

 

 

Has anyone ever come across this? I've been putting off rewriting this in .NET....

 

Thanks

See if this helps

Go here at http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%20.NET%20Developer's%20Guide/index.html

This is the AutoCAD .NET Developers guide but at the bottom of the page expand the VBA/ActiveX Code reference

I've never looked at 2011, but for 2010 there was a vba something or other that you had to download to get it to work. Same for 2011 maybe?

I've already downloaded and installed the vba enabler for AutoCAD 2011.

 

Thanks

It is not posting right

so go to http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%20.NET%20Developer's%20Guide/index.html

 

and at the bottom expand the VBA/ACTIVEx node

Try

Dim dwgName As String

dwgName = "c:\Whatever.dwg"

ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open dwgName

Figured you probably had, but hey, sometimes the obvious is the first thing overlooked.
