Virus Alert
When you load a project into AutoCAD, all the public subroutines, also called macros, become available for use. Projects embedded in a drawing are loaded whenever the drawing is opened. Projects stored in DVB files must be loaded explicitly.
Anytime a project is loaded, any other projects that are referenced by the first project will be loaded automatically. Additionally, AutoCAD will automatically load at startup any project file with the name acad.dvb.
To load an existing VBA project file
- In the VBA Manager, use the Load option to bring up the Open VBA Project dialog box.
- In the Open VBA Project dialog box, select the project file to open. The VBA Project dialog box will allow you to open only valid DVB files. If you attempt to open a different type of file, you will receive an error message.
- Select Open.
You can also load a project file using one of the following methods:
- Enter the VBALOAD command, which opens the Open VBA Project dialog box.
- Drag a DVB file from Windows Explorer and drop it into an open drawing in the AutoCAD window.
