Migrating VBA to CONNECT

Content related to migrating MicroStation VBA customizations to MicroStation CONNECT.

The MicroStation CONNECT VBA help file (..\MicroStationVBA.chm) provides a few topics that we recommend looking at first:

  1. "Changes for 64-bit Processes"
  2. "MicroStation VBA Environment Variables"
  3. "Calling DLL functions from VBA"

The following items allow you to view notes specific to various VBA API areas:

Architecture
Configuration
Coordinate Units Some methods may require UOR input vs. Master Unit values, though most should take Master Unit values.  These will likely be corrected in future releases when found.
  • Recommend: To provide Point in UORs multiply (or scale) master unit point values (X,Y and Z) respectively using: ActiveModelReference.UORsPerMasterUnit.
