Luke31 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hi, I'm a bit new to using VBA with AutoCAD. Is it possible to move a defined polyline (square) and then extrude it to create a third dimension? If yes, what would the syntax be please?

BIGAL Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 You have answered your own question, MOVE & EXTRUDE just google a bit and you should be able to find the commands in VBA format at worst you can get VBA to do a "Command" string. This took about 1 minute answer is what you want, you can find extrude should be the same. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/AutoCAD-ActiveX/files/GUID-1F8B68A6-0A46-4697-A978-BBEDAE3AE5FF-htm.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke31 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ok thanks i managed to move the square & copy it, however I am trying to create a hollow box in 3d. Can this be done? Since the extrude command extrudes faces and not sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 A hollow box can be just two solids subtract the inside solid from outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
