Save Problem, delay required in code, How do i work around this?

I should also add, for anyone watching, that you need to get up to speed
with XML pretty soon. Next release of AutoCAD [2007?] will not use menu
files or profiles. These will be replaced by the CUI files which are XML.
Also, tool palettes, project files in ADT/MDT, Land data, dwfs [some but
not all the contents of it] are all XML as well.So the ability to interact
with XML will be required if you want to customize AutoCAD.

isn't it this way in 2006 already for the menus anyway.? checked out a cui
file
recently which was the acad.mns in XML format basically. I thought it was 06
anyway?

 

Yeah, thanks! I forgot to mention that. The difference is you can still use
menus and prfiles now and they get converted to the CUIs. Word is the next
release won't convert for you.

Thanks...I was going to write a .net editor
based on that file...Guess I will wait.

 

WOW! What a flood of great information. Many people in this conversation
have help me with my very new limited knowledge of VBA, and I wanted to say
thank you. Much of this is way over my head at the moment, but I will dive
in, and start swimming. Thanks for the help, guidance, and support.

What is the next step in your VBA code - after saving? Maybe an overall view of what your code does would be useful.

 

The code runs well now with some modifications to export data from AutoCAD,
but when I run throught various manipulations of the data between various
spreadsheets and reports that are generated from the code, this is where I
am experiencing save issues currently. Its seems when I try to manipulte
excel, controlled from an AutoCAD VBA, it runs slower, so I have started to
write the VBA in Excel, and simply use the "Run "MACRONAME" syntax in my
code. This appears to work better.
