Handle Document Level Events

Document level events are persistent in AutoCAD VBA. That is, they are automatically enabled when a VBA project is loaded. However, they are not enabled for any other controller, such as VB. Document level events must therefore be enabled for all other ActiveX Automation controllers.

Once the document level events are enabled, you have a wide range of events available to you. These events include
