AutoCAD 2005?

I use this simple code to launch autocad with a vb6 program. We are going
to be upgrading to AutoCAD 2005 next week and i was wondering if i needed to
change anything?

On Error Resume Next
Set acdApp = GetObject(, "autocad.application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set acdApp = CreateObject("autocad.application")
Err.Clear
End If

 

I think your able to start AutoCAD in this manner because you have had only
one version installed. You may have to try something like this after
installing 2005.

On Error Resume Next
Set acdApp = GetObject(, "autocad.application.16")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set acdApp = CreateObject("autocad.application.16")
Err.Clear
End If

Best regards,

Hi,

you code should work fine, however you should set the autocad.application to
be version specific (in case a user hase two versions on one machine)
ie GetObject(, "autocad.application.16") etc

As long as 2005 is the only version you have installed, you should be fine.

 

Chris,

You need to change the reference to "AutoCAD.Application.16.1"

Hope that helps,

As Joe said

Only when you have multiple versions installed do you NEED to use
AutoCAD.Application.16.1 or if you are doing something specific to a single
release and want to make sure you have it specifically. Same is true for
other applications like Excel, too.
