    AutoCAD 2007 - Run routine when opening dwg

    Simply put, I want to have AutoCAD run a vba routine whenever a drawing is openned.

    Thanks to some help from this site, I have a routine that works for CAD 2000, but I am getting error messages in 2007.

    Here is the code I have that works in 2000:

    In the ThisDrawing tab:
    [vba]
    Dim Aok As Class1

    Private Sub AcadDocument_Activate()
    If Aok Is Nothing Then Set Aok = New Class1
    If IsEmpty(ACADApp) Then Aok.AcadApplication_Events
    End Sub
    [/vba]

    in the Class Modules tab:
    [vba]
    Public WithEvents ACADApp As AcadApplication

    Public Sub AcadApplication_Events()

    Set ACADApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")
    End Sub

    Private Sub ACADApp_EndOpen(ByVal filename As String)
    RunMacro "AddaBlock.XrefUpdate"
    End Sub

    [/vba]

    and in the modules tab..

    [vba]
    Sub XrefUpdate()
    ..code...
    End Sub
    [/vba]

    TIA for any help

    Just an idea only because I have not have A2007

    Change this line:

    [vba]Set ACADApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")[/vba]

    on

    [vba]
    Set ACADApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.17")
    [/vba]

    HTH

    here is to hoping the module name is "AddaBlock".

    Where is the error?
    What does it say?

    The error has been resolved. Apparently VBA and/or AutoCAD doesn't like when you have 2000 and 2007 running at the same time.
