AutoCAD Macros 2015
=================

AutoCAD macros are now version dependant.

AutoCAD 2015 automatically updates any macro to use the new "2015 VBA Library" packaged with Acad2015.  However, since the macros are (protected) read-only, it is not possible to save the altered version when exiting AutoCAD - causing AutoCAD to request a new save at each use.

The attached 2015 macro set has been updated and saved using Acad2015 running Windows 8.  Similarly, these macros can no longer be used in 2010, since the "2015 VBA Library" is not available in the older version!  (This will result in an error as the "2015 VBA Library" cannot be found).

You will need to copy the relevant version of the macros into the Autocad XXXX macros folder.

The macro set includes:

angle2.dvb			Measures angle between selected points		v2015
balloon.dvb			Draws number inside circle				v2015
dash.dvb				Joins consecutive points				v2015
dimension.dvb			Annotates dwg with column size (East x North)		v2015
distance2.dvb			Displays horizontal distance between 2 points		v2015
exportxyz.dvb			Exports selected points to a file			v2015a
importxyz.dvb			Imports CSV file					v2015 **
pointid.dvb			Displays Point ID (X, Y, Z)				v2015
transformation.dvb			Transforms drawing to a user selected grid		v2015 **
vectordevs2007.dvb			Produces Error vector for As-builts			v2015 ++

ExportXYZ is currently being updated to export GSI files.  This is ongoing.

++ "VectorDevs2007.exe" no longer needs to be in c:\Windows directory.
** AutoCAD 2015 no longer supports the Microsoft CommonDialog command.

Lisp Routines:

The following lisp routines, once loaded are run by typing their name at the command line.

3dcircle			Draws 3-D circle through 3 points
flatten			Flattens 3-D drawing to 2-D
xpipe			Creates 3-D pipe from line

To prevent this error message occuring each time AutoCAD starts, you must add the folder containing the macros to the list of "Trusted Folders":
