I am trying to upgrade/port my program to OpenRoadsDesigner. I currently have a VBA program built for "InRoads Suite SS2" running on top of "Microstation V8i SS3".
My old code successfully taps into many of the InRoads functions through VBA (.mvba) function declarations, referencing the SCadSDKAT.dll as shown in the old SCadSDKVBNet.txt file supplied with the old SDK.
My current program works very well, but is only useful because it can access InRoads functions. I am at a loss on how to port this into OpenRoadsDesigner without similar capabililtes.
Thanks!

As of today we do not support VBA as this requires us to implement the COM Interop layer. Our focus is on an extensive Read and Write capability in our SDK accessible via C++/C#.

Do you plan to document the C++/C# as thoroughly as the MicroStation VBA was documented? The civil documentation was thin, but the plain Microstation VBA was pretty thoroughly supported with Help files and sample code. I'd like to see that level of support/documentation for ORD programming.

Hi MaryB,
This sounds like a very good idea. When we created the new Civil Programming Site, please note at the very top of each page is a Civil Programming Ideas button where anyone can create new Ideas to be considered and hopefully implemented in future releases. Do you mind giving this a try and submit your Idea?
Thank you,Bob
Absolutely!
