SendKeys to AutoCad (or API equivalent)
- Thread starter Cresby
- Start date
Why use sendkeys - AFAIK autoCAD has its own object library that can be controlled via VBA ? Are you trying to create something that doesn't have the appropriate command in AC ??

Macro's and Lisp come at a price and the company I am working at have installed ACad Lite 2004 as standard. So no macro's. The fact that I am the only one pushy enough to try and I have 6 weeks to the end of the contract means I can't insist on anything new. If I do enough with what I have and my VBA skills then maybe tey will offer more permanent work. I figured a problem tonight that I expected hours of struggle in about 15 minutes - they are impressable.
If ACad does VBA then I would welcome it, if and when. But it has definitely blocked the SendKeys approach - which, lets face it, does no more than harm a bad typist - and ACad is a command based app still. They haven't even loaded VBA help on Office 2000 - how short sited is that?
