Managing VBA Projects

progeCAD VBA projects are not stored as separate files, but are saved either:

• within the drawing file
• in common projects, which are available to multiple drawing files.

Macros contained within the drawing or in the common project file are not directly compatible with stand-alone Visual Basic projects (VBP files); however, forms, modules, and classes can be exchanged between dissimilar projects using the IMPORT and EXPORT VBA commands in the VBA IDE.

To save a macro within the drawing file

1. From the File menu in either progeCAD or progeCAD VBA, click Save.

or: click the Save icon in the Toolbar.

or: press Ctrl + S.

The drawing is saved under the selected name.

2. If the drawing has not been previously saved, the Save As dialog box appears. Type a name in the File Name box and click Save.

To save a macro in the Common Project File

1. Common projects can contain document-independent macros and are saved in a separate file called CommonProjects.VBI. This file is loaded automatically when progeCAD is first started.
