CAD Software Forum

Hello,
I'm using version 6.4.23.2 to convert some old Autocad VBA macros and I'm storing all my programs in Common Projects.
Can anyone shed some light on the following:

1) Why I don't have access to ThisDocument and have to use ThisWorkspace.ActiveDocument instead.

2) At the end of the macros, I am attempting to Zoom Extents followed by a Zoom Scale to slightly reduce the view of the drawing.
The ZoomExtents works OK but ZoomScaled is giving a
' Compile Error: = expected'

In Autocad I simply used:
ZoomScale 0.9, acZoomScaledRelative

In Intellicad I have tried
ThisWorkspace.ActiveDocument.ActiveViewport.ZoomScaled (0.9,vicZoomScaledRelative)
but when I type the finishing bracket I get the Compile error message above.

Regards
Jim

jwhitla,

As far as the access to ThisDocument goes: I have always used IntelliCAD.ActiveDocument so I can't help you there.

The zoom works without error when I use:
ThisWorkspace.ActiveDocument.ActiveViewport.ZoomScaled 0.9, vicZoomScaledRelative

The error occurs when brackets are placed around the arguments as VBA needs a pointer to a variable.

Thanks John,
Works a treat. I'll remember about the brackets in the future.
