Can I envoke an AutoCAD command from VBA

[jrice174]

I'm trying to use the AutoCAD BOUNDARY command from within a VBA program. Do I need to use the utility object to do this and if so, how?

You can send AutoCAD commands with the SendCommand method. You have to be careful using it though. AutoCAD works at its own speed when executing a SendCommand method and simultaneously, VBA works on its own speed. You need to write your code to account for this.

eg
ThisDrawing.SendCommand "_Circle" & vbCr & "2,2,0" & vbCr & "4" & vbCr
ThisDrawing.SendCommand "_zoom" & vbCr & "a" & vbCr
