Lee Mac 296 Posted March 16, 2009 And we're just about on the verge of 2010... An even number, new functions and a new Database... Let's cross our fingers that the even numbers are really good:unsure: Well being an even number, it was looking good - but with prospects that they will no longer support VBA... maybe things are turning in a different direction... http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32857 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rkmcswain 72 Posted March 16, 2009 VBA is still supported, but its no secret that it is dying, and it isn't necessarily Autodesk's fault. Microsoft is the one who killed it. I wouldn't write any new code in it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What we are seeing now and I suppose will continue is virtually no development on the UI and the API though.

Kobbe 10 Posted April 10, 2011 Hope u don't dislike that face that this is rather old! I am working on my report about my work in AutoCAD and I am going to write a little bit about autocad. Does anybody know when 3D first was avilible in AutoCAD? It was just build for 2D back in the days? Does anyone know if Autocad is mostly used for 2D or 3D? Any source? Thx!
