Using Visual Basic with AutoCAD 2000 (Autodesk's Programmer)
The second edition of this book includes approximately 40% additional material over the first edition, plus numerous updates and enhancements. It covers AutoCAD 2000, AutoCAD 2000i, and R14, while the first edition of this book was written solely for AutoCAD R14 -- the first release of AutoCAD to incorporate the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)  programming environment.  The AutoCAD 2000 release included several valuable revisions to the Object Model, which are highlighted in this book.As with the first edition, this book covers all of the key topics for AutoCAD users interested in unleashing the customization power of Visual Basic and VBA. It takes a "how-to" approach and includes real-world examples to illustrate how to create and modify objects, extract drawing information, exchange information with other Windows applications such as Microsoft Office products, and much more. Introductory chapters on the Visual Basic language can help the novice programmer and serve as a reference for experienced programmers.
