I have been reading that Autodesk has taken VBA out of Acad 2010 and 2011, although you can still download it and install it. If I understand correctly, this is in response to Microsoft's decision to push everyone to .NET, and quit supporting VBA.
I was thinking about doing some additional work on the rather huge modeling add-in that I generated a while back. Before I invest too much more time, I was curious if there is a plan for future releases of Intellicad with regards to add-ins like this. Will VBA remain viable? Should I be thinking about making a change to .NET (VB.NET or C#)? Other things I should be thinking about?
Thanks,

Hi Erik,
Just to update this conversation, I know that it has been said that IntelliCAD will mantain VBA and, in fact, that was the initial intention of CMS . However, considering that this technology (VBA) is completely outdated, I can say that, due to the company policy, CMS IntelliCAD 7 will not include VBA. CMS IntelliCAD 7 will be released only with VSTA.

#5Interesting. It sounds like I'm going to have to do some work if I want to continue with the tool I have developed.
Given the decision to drop VBA, any new thoughts on VSTA versus other options?
Thanks,

VBA in ver 7.1?
#7I updated to ver 7.1, and noticed that VBA is back in, and VSTA is out of the install.
Has the plan changed with regards to VBA versus VSTA for future versions?
Thanks,
