So, what is AutoCAD? First released in 1982 under the name MicroCAD, AutoCAD has become a powerful tool for drafting and design purposes. AutoCAD 2006 incorporates many new features to enhance flexibility and drawing control. To reflect this extra functionality, many new ActiveX objects, properties, methods, and events have been included for improved programmability. What Is This Book About? This book is about AutoCAD 2006 and how to use AutoCAD VBA in your applications to h- dle all your drawing tasks more efficiently. It shows you how to programmatically control the creation and editing of individual drawing objects, manipulate linetypes and layers, control text and dimension styles, and do much more. As you encounter each of these topics, you'll learn all about the associated objects, including their properties, methods, and events. By interfacing with AutoCAD, you can exploit all of AutoCAD's functionality that would have taken you a long time to write yourself. This book will first help you learn how to use this functionality. Then it will become a handy reference later, when you have a question that you just can't answer.Joe Sutphin has over 20 years of experience in the machinery manufacturing industry.
