Hi All........... I'm trying to write a macro in Excel-VBA that will start AutoCad and run an external script file called script.scr Here's my code so far..........it will open AutoCad and open the test.dwg file and execute the script command and open a dialog box to choose a script file, but then will not accept the script.scr filename nor a "Enter"........it just hangs there Sub StartAutocad() Dim oAutoCad As Object Set oAutoCad = GetObject("c: est.dwg") oAutoCad.sendcommand "script" & vbCr 'this line opens the choose file dialog box oAutoCad.sendcommand "script.scr" & vbCr 'this line don't appear to work at all Any help would be appreciated..........
