Product Description

AutoCAD 2002 isn't just the world's #1 design and drafting tool: it's a powerful, programmable platform for automating complex design tasks, integrating design data with enterprise information systems, and solving a wide range of technical and business problems. The key to all that power is VBA scripting -- and the key to VBA scripting is AutoCAD 2002 VBA User Handbook. This book ties together AutoCAD's key tools and VBA's capabilities as never before, showing how AutoCAD and VBA work together in the real world -- and helping professionals create real-world applications more rapidly than they ever thought possible. Jeffrey E. Clark begins with a tour of AutoCAD's Interactive Development Environment, then helps AutoCAD professionals master the fundamentals of Automation, COM, and object-oriented programming. Go "under the hood" with the DXF format to understand the structure of AutoCAD's drawing database; master the AutoCAD object model, and discover how to automate 2D and 3D graphic objects, external references, entities, modeled solids, dimensions, and events. Learn how to use VBA to control PaperSpace, Viewports, and plotting; and how to extend AutoCAD to communicate with other applications and across the Internet. The book also includes a start-to-finish case study application that integrates an AutoCAD drawing with a Microsoft Access database.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you know VBA, July 26, 2002
By Luther Cifers (Va, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you already have a working knowledge of VBA and want to integrate AutoCAD with MS Office tools, this is a great book. The author does a good job of making sense and has plenty of good examples. Most definately a worthwhile investment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners, August 3, 2004
By W. C Davis (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a completely inappropriate book for anyone attempting to learn VBA with no prior VBA experience. There is no foundation laid for the examples, they include code that makes absolutely no sense because you haven't been introduced to that information yet. In chapter three the book has several examples of code to find the DXF codes for entities, but never tells you where to save it or how to run it. It's obvious that the author never thought to have someone with no VBA experience preview the book before publishing.
