What is the status of VBA support in the AutoCAD 2011 product line?
Microsoft made the decision to stop offering VBA distribution licenses to new customers as of July 1, 2007 and they have expressed that there are no plans to provide VBA product enhancements in the future. As a result of this, though Autodesk will continue to “unofficially” support VBA in its 2011 products, software developers are strongly encouraged to base all future Microsoft Windows based development for AutoCAD based products on the Microsoft .NET Framework (VB .NET, C#, managed C++ etc). As first introduced with AutoCAD 2010, AutoCAD is not distributing VBA as part of the AutoCAD 2011 installation disk. Rather, customers will need to download VBA here.
