Class Description

Productivity through programming has never been a friendly or intuitive process. Whether you were using LISP, VBA or even menus and macros, if you didn't get the right syntax, it didn't work. Now in AutoCAD 2009, you can easily build custom macros simply by using AutoCAD. In this session we'll cover the foundation guidelines and show powerful, practical examples. We'll then cover how to create, edit, and share your action recordings to simplify your most common repetitive tasks into one custom command. Imagine reducing your repetitive tasks and steps without painful programming!
